Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma And Gingival Pigmentation: A Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 6
Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of the gingival tissues, usually originates from the periodontal ligament cells. It is characterized by highly cellular connective tissue exhibiting dystrophic calcification with the formation of bone and cementum-like materials. It predominantly occurs in females compared to that of males and occurs in relation to maxillary teeth particularly the anterior to the molars. A 14 years old girl child was reported with a localised gingival overgrowth in relation to the 11, 21 and 22.The growth was excised and healing was found uneventful. However, removal of the growth revealed the unesthetic black colored gingiva in adjacent areas in contrast of normal colored (coral pink) gingiva at the surgical area. It subsequently demands the depigmentation of gingiva, which was carried out using scalpel. The present case was under observation for considerably a long time and shows no sign of recurrence.
