Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a reactive bone dysplasia that involves tooth-bearing areas of the jaws. It most commonly affects females and is seen less frequently in Caucasian and Asian groups. The age group may vary from 19 to 76 years and typically presents in the fourth and fifth decades. FCOD associated with impacted teeth and bony expansion is very rare and only a few familial cases have been reported in literature. Till date, <2% cases in Indians have been reported in literature. Here, we report a case of nonfamilial FCOD in a 27-year-old young Indian female with cortical plate expansion, one over-retained and one impacted teeth.
