PERIPHERAL OSSIFYING FIBROMA
Age : 28/F
Occupation : Housewife

- Slow growing in nature.
Cyanosis,Jaundice,Edema,Clubbing,Pallor :-
Absent
Facial symmetry
Muscles of Mastication
TMJ: No deviation

No tenderness
MUSCLES OF MASTICATION
SALIVARY GLANDS:
Buccal mucosa
Labial mucosa
Tongue
NAD
Floor of the mouth
Hard palate
Soft palate and uvula
Gingiva & Periodontal Assessment:
painless, slow-growing swelling on the lingual gingiva of the lower right posterior teeth (45-46) over three
years.
History: Asymptomatic, non-tender swelling with occasional bleeding during brushing. No systemic or
TMJ abnormalities. Intraoral: A 3x3 cm smooth, firm, exophytic growth on lingual gingiva (45-46). Lesion
is non-tender, non-ulcerated, and elevatable with a probe. Adjacent bone shows mild rarefaction. Vitality
Tests Teeth 44, 45, 46 are vital, ruling out pulpal involvement.
Differential Diagnoses:1. Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF):Most likely due to firm consistency,
calcification, and gingival origin. Common in young females, reactive etiology from periodontal ligament.
2.Peripheral Cementifying Fibroma: Similar to POF but with cementum-like calcifications. 3.Calcifying
Fibroblastic Granuloma:Less likely given the absence of rapid growth or inflammation. 4 Peripheral Giant
Cell Granuloma:Typically vascular and purplish, not consistent with this case. *Diagnostic Clincher:* POF
is favored due to clinical features (slow growth, calcification, gingival origin) and demographics.
Histopathology (biopsy) is essential to confirm and exclude other entities. Management:Surgical Excision:
Complete removal with periosteal curettage to prevent recurrence. - Radiographic Follow-up: Monitor
bone rarefaction for resolution. Oral Hygiene Reinforcement: Minimize local irritation.
