Peripheral ossifying fibroma in the maxillary incisor region: A case report

Abstract

Peripheral ossifying fibroma belongs to the group of reactive focal lesions occurring on the gingiva. It is usually solitary and tends to occur in teenagers and young adults with a female predilection. In this article, we have reported a rare case of peripheral ossifying fibroma occurring in a 60-year-old female in the maxillary anterior region, with superficial ulceration and pathologic migration of adjacent teeth.
