Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive overgrowth occurring frequently in anterior maxilla originating from connective tissue or periodontal ligament. They are firm, nodular, slow growing, spherical non neoplastic tumors. POF, one of the most common gingival lesions has a recurrence rate of nearly 20%. The etiology is considered to be secondary to trauma or other local irritating factors.To minimize the recurrence of this lesion it must be completely excised. Incidence of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the posterior maxilla is also rare. Here we report a large peripheral ossifying fibroma occurring in a 35 years female in the posterior side of maxillary and mandibular arches which had extended to the occlusal surface of the third molar region causing discomfort and difficulty in mastication
