Abstract :

Gingival growths are one of the most frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity. Different lesions with similar clinical presentations make it difficult to arrive at a correct diagnosis. One of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions is peripheral ossifying fioma (POF) which is a reactive gingival overgrowth.. Exuberant connective tissue response to chronic irritation due to plaque, calculus, restorative, or orthodontic appliances are thought to be responsible for the initiation of the lesion. This article describes a case of POF in an 18‑year‑old female in an unusual location with rare involvement of bone. Clinical, radiographic, and histologic characteristics are discussed and recommendations regarding differential diagnosis, treatments are provided
