Recurrent Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia in the Mandible by Nilton Alves, Reinaldo José de Oliveira, Denise Takehana, Naira Figueiredo Deana

“…We may conclude that conservative surgery might not be the best choice for treatment for monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the mandible and that other options must be considered, such as radical surgery or the use of bisphosphonates. In our study, we may also conclude that it is very important to explain to the patient the possibility of recurrence of the lesion and the need for monitoring with periodic imaging studies.…”
