Abstract

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingiva that usually arising from the interdental papilla. A 36-year-old female admitted to our clinic for routine care and management of recurring gingival growth. Examination revealed an approximately 1.5 x 1 cm pedunculated, not-tender, firm, pinkish red growth present on the interdental papilla of the maxillary incisors. Excisional biopsy was performed to obtain histopathologic evidence. A confirmatory diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma is made by histopathologic evaluation of biopsy specimen. Although Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a bening and reactive lesion, the recurrence rate is quite high. Therefore, regular follow-up are necessary.
