Fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. 1985

C A Waldron

During the 15 years since the author's 1970 paper on fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws, the subject has continued to interest the clinician and pathologist. Several new entities have been delineated during this period, and new concepts and controversies regarding the diagnosis and management of these lesions have arisen. A classification of fibro-osseous jaw lesions that the author has found to be workable is presented, and criteria for their diagnosis and management based on the authors' experience is discussed.
