Abstract

Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is popularly known as a soft reactive tissue that develops around the interdental papilla which are regarded as reactive rather than malignant. A 27-year-old woman with gingival overgrowth in the maxillary anterior region is the subject of this case. Clinically, there was pale pink swelling in the maxillary right central and lateral incisor area. The lesion was surgically removed after histopathological confirmation. A post-operative monitoring is essential considering the recurrence risk for POF is 7-20%.
