Purpose: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibro-osseous pathologic condition characterized by the replacement of bone with fibrous tissues. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological and histological findings. Objective: In this study, we report a case of unilateral FD in the left side of the maxilla, precisely in the palate region, using computed tomography and histological examinations. Results: On examination, expansion of the buccal cortical plate and obliteration of the vestibule were found .The covering and surrounding mucosa was normal in color, showing no clinical manifestation of inflammation or ulceration. Tomography showed a diffuse and heterogeneous thickening of the bony elements, involving the hard palate. As a treatment, we opted for remodeling osteotomy in order to improve the esthetic outcome. Conclusion: knowledge of the morphological changes is important for the diagnosis of bone pathologies. Thus, the dentist must be familiar with the normal morphology of the structures as well as their possible abnormalities.
