Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma

Abstract

The gingiva is frequently the spot of localized growths that are problematic to diagnose clinically besides can only be distinguished as a distinct entity by consistent histomorphology. The peripheral ossifying fibroma is a type of fibro-osseous benign tumor that can recur even after it has been removed. Clinical as well as histologic features are discussed, in addition to differential diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up recommendations. Clinically, it is tough to distinguish amid most reactive gingival lesions, especially in the early phases, so it is critical to rule out causative aspects as well as histological examination of the tissue for confirmation.
