AlSufyani BDS Graduate Department of Dentistry University of Toronto Abstract Objectives: This project explores the demographic and clinical presentation of cemento- osseous dysplasia (COD), and their pathognomonic radiographic features. Methods: Demographic and clinical data were collected from the charts of 118 subjects with COD from the Oral Radiology archives. Using a systematic objective survey instrument, 3 general dentists (GP) and 3 oral radiologists (RG) reviewed 50 image sets of COD and similarly-appearing entities. Participants were asked to identify radiographic features and to make a diagnosis based on the images provided. Results: The majority of cases occurred in clinically asymptomatic females in their fifth decade. RGs identified a well- defined border, radiolucent periphery, bilateral occurrence, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque internal structure, and association with anterior and posterior teeth as key features, correctly interpreting 79.3% of COD cases. The absence of root resorption and an association with anterior and posterior teeth were the only key features that guided GPs to correctly interpret 38.7% of COD cases. ii Acknowledgment I am heartily thankful to my supervisor, Dr. Ernest Lam, for his mentorship, encouragement, guidance and support. To my advisory committee members, Dr. Michael Pharoah, Dr. Grace Bradley and Dr. Robert (Bob) Wood, this project would not have been possible without your invaluable assistance and participation. My deepest gratitude goes to my family for their unconditional love and support throughout my life. I am forever indebted to my husband, Mohammed, for his endless care, love and motivation throughout this journey. To my dearest Sara, you are my greatest accomplishment. Thank you for being my inspiration. iii Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgment ......................................................................................................... iii Table of contents .......................................................................................................... iv List of Tables ............................................................................................................... vi List of Figures ............................................................................................................. vii List of Appendices ..................................................................................................... viii Introduction ..................................................................................................................1 1.1.Literature review ..................................................................................................1 A.
