Fibrous dysplasia of the mandible: a case report

Bahar Gursoy, Ahmet Arslan,

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disease of bone of unknown etiology. Its occurrence in the maxillo-facial region is frequent. Because of the benign nature of the condition, the surgery itself should be relatively conservative. Recently, bisphosphonates have shown progress in the treatment of patients with fibrous dysplasia. In the current case report, combination of enucleation and performance of alendronate to the fibrous dysplasia is reported.
