Fibrodisplasia poliostotica del distretto maxillo-facciale

Benign non-odontogenous tumours include fibroplasia, an uncapsulated disease associated with few symptoms. The polyostotic form, which affects various body districts, is rarer than the monostotic form. In addition to aesthetic problems, polyostotic fibrodysplasia of the maxillofacial district may alter auditory, visual, masticatory and phonatory functions. The Authors here describe a case of maxillofacial polyostotic fibrodysplasia and the therapeutic programme designed to resolve the associated stomatological problems
