Only Paring Down as Treatment Modality for Fibrous Dysplasia: Case Series.

ABSTRACT

Fibrous dysplasia is a condition in which normal medullary bone is gradually replaced by an abnormal fibrous connective tissue proliferation and there is arrest of bone development in the woven stage with failure to mature to lamellar bone. The resultant fibroosseous tissue is poorly formed and structurally inadequate and weaker than the original bone. Various treatment modalities including medicinal and surgical treatment have been proposed for this lesion, in this case series we share our experience with paring down for such lesion and found it effective and efficient method of treating fibrous dysplasia. Facial symmetry, esthetics, and function were achieved in all the cases.
