Abstract
Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is a relatively uncommon gingival overgrowth with undefined pathogenesis. It may occur at any age but predominantly affects adolescents & young adults mainly females, with a predilection for anterior maxilla. It is characterized by a high degree of cellularity exhibiting bone formation with occasional cementum-like material and dystrophic calcification. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment modality. Here, we report a case of POF in relation to the mandibular right lateral incisor and caninein a 26-year-old female. The lesion was excised and the patient was followed up for one year post-surgically that showed no sign of recurrence.
Keywords:peripheral ossifying fibroma,gingiva,periodontal ligament, irritation, trauma.
