Abstract / Excerpt:

Throughout the history of medicine, lesions of the jaws have been described and named by those who thought were the first to observe them. My literature research revealed that the first recorded description of a NICO lesion was in the textbook,” DENTAL PHYSIOLOGY AND SURGERY,” written in 1848 by Surgeon- Dentist to the Middlesex Hospital in London, England, John Tornes.
