Noffke letter to the editor titled: Regarding the use of the term “cementum” in pathologic proliferation and would like to make a few comments regarding this controversial subject. To start with it is important to point out that our understanding of the basic cytogenetic and molecular genetic mechanisms involved in the development of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws is very limited. Terms used to identify these entities are based on their morphologic and clinical features and not on pathogenetic or molecular basis [1, 2]. …
