Q

as periapical cemento osseous dysplasia lesions “mature” over time, how do they appear radiographically?

A
  • they will go from a circumscribed area of radiolucency involving the apex of the tooth (early) to having a mixed RL-RO appearance
  • end-stage lesions are densely RO with a RL rim
    • the PDL will be intact; the pesion will NOT fuse to the tooth
