Peripheral ossifying fibroma of posterior maxilla: A case report with a brief review

Abstract

Focal gingival growth is one of the most commonly encountered lesions in the oral cavity and it is considered a non-neoplastic reactive lesion. These lesions include pyogenic granuloma, irritational fibroma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, and peripheral ossifying fibroma. This paper presents a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 24 years old male patient, with an accurate diagnosis, satisfactory clinical management, and follow-up.
