Laser-assisted excision of peripheral ossifying fibroma- A case report

Abstract

Localized gingival growths are one of the maximum regularly encountered lesions within the oral cavity, which are taken into consideration to be reactive as opposed to neoplastic. Those lesions encompass pyogenic granuloma, inflammation fibroma, peripheral large cellular granuloma, and peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). Among those lesions, the Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is an occasionally happening non-neoplastic gingival growth with regions of calcification or ossification. That is a case presentation of a 31-year-old woman with gingival overgrowth within the maxillary left molar area. Clinically, the lesion was asymptomatic, firm, pale pinkish, and pedunculated. Surgical excision of the lesion using LASER was carried out followed by histopathologic confirmation with emphasis on the clinical factor.
