Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma : A case report
Keywords:
Peripheral ossifying fibroma, gingival overgrowth
Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of the gingival tissue that predominantly affects women. It originates from the cells of the periodontal ligament. The definitive diagnosis is established by histological examination. In this article, we have presented a case report with the histopathological evaluation and management.References
