Abstract

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is an uncommon lesion in Indian population. For evaluating this rare lesion, a systematic literature review to provide an up-to-date summary of cemento-osseous dysplasia from the Indian perspective was carried out. The WHO classification for COD like “periapical”, “focal” and “florid” cemento-osseous dysplasia was the main terms used. Electronic databases like Medline, EBSCO, Scopus and "Web of Science" were used for the searches. The search revealed a total of 48 articles, out of which 37 were only included. This included twenty nine case reports and eight case series. Of the total 56 patients, from all the case reports and series, of which 47 were females and only nine, were males. Age ranged from 13-64 years. Florid COD was the commonest type of COD among the articles with 42 cases. Majority of the florid cases involved both maxilla and mandible, and involvement of maxilla was rare in focal and periapical varieties. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review of cemento-osseous dysplasia in Indian population.
