Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma : A Very Rare Clinical Presentation
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The use of the term “fibroma” for any soft tissue lesion or gingival lesion by general practitioners has led to an inadequate diagnosis of quite a few rare entities. The occurrence of gingival lesions in adolescent female patients is a routine clinical finding. The site of occurrence of such a lesion is of prime significance, as the rarity of these lesions is determined by the site and size of the lesion. On the other hand, the dilemma over the diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) versus peripheral odontogenic fibroma still continues. Commonly used synonyms for POF include calcifying fibroblastic granuloma, peripheral fibroma with calcification, peripheral cementifying fibroma, and calcifying, or ossifying fibrous epulis. The present case report deals with a unique case of POF between two maxillary central incisors in an adolescent female child patient and its surgical treatment, with 2 years of follow-up.
