Dr. Renu Verma, Dr. Maya Indurkar

Abstract :

Gingiva is the most common site for localized growths or lesions that are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Oftenly, these growths are difficult to be diagnosed clinically and can be identified as specific entity only on the basis of typical and consistent histomorphology. Peripheral ossifying fioma (POF) is one such of reactive lesion or growth. Peripheral ossifying fioma can be developed due to embedment of a foreign body. It has been described with various synonyms and is believed to developed from the periodontal ligament comprising about 9% of all gingival growths. The size of the growth is generally small, located mainly in the anterior maxilla with a higher predilection for females, and it is more common in the second decade of life. A clinical report of 55–years–old female with a peripheral ossifying fioma in the anterior maxilla region showing significant growth is presented.
