Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is relatively common reactive lesion. POF can occur at any age, although it is common in young adults. It comprises about 9.6% of all gingival growths. It arises from periodontal ligament cells and is frequently misdiagnosed as pyogenic granuloma or fibroma. It exclusively occurs on gingiva. POF commonly occurs in maxillary anterior region. However, in this case report, POF in mandibular anterior region is presented.
