ABSTRACT: Objective and Case Report: In this report a female patient with the lesion diagnosed as focal semento-osseous dysplasia by histolog- ical and radiological examination on the left mandibular molar region is presented and these focal semento-osseous dysplasia lesions are reviewed according to the literature. Conclusion: Histological and radiographic examination is significant for the differential diagnosis of FCOD. Its solid nature and posterior localization ease the differential diagnosis. The treatment includes long term follow-up for asymptomatic lesions or surgical excision if a dental implant rehabilitation is planned for the affected partial edentulous region of jaw, as seen in this case.
