Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a fibro-osseous lesion that affects jaw bones of middle-aged women affecting two or more quadrants of the jaw. The disease is known to be periodontal ligament in origin which is asymptomatic, characterized by multiple, confluent, and nonexpansile radio-opacities, often with circumferential radiolucency. This case report describes two cases diagnosed with FCOD on the basis of radiographic findings which includes intraoral periapical radiograph, orthopantomograph as well as cone-beam computed tomography images
