PERIPHERAL OSSIFYING FIBROMA : A CASE REPORT

Dr. Snehal Vangikar, Dr. Rashmi V Gaikwad

Abstract


The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive gingival overgrowth occurring frequently in the anterior maxilla in teenagers and young adults. The pediatric patient with a POF has special management considerations compared to the adult, as it requires early recognition and treatment by the dentist. It requires proper treatment protocol with close postoperative follow-up. The present report describes a case of POF in a 67 yr female, which was surgically excised from the palatal and labial mucosa in the maxillary incisor area. Some features of the differential diagnosis and therapy when it occurs are discussed
