- Abstract: MANAGEMENT OF PERIPHERAL OSSIFYING FIBROMA IN AN ADOLESCENT: A CASE REPORT:Introduction: Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) makes up between 2-9% of all gingival lesions and a third of all localized hyperplastic gingival lesions. It is commonly seen in the anterior segment of both maxilla and mandible. Case report: This case describes the management of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) associated with tooth displacement affecting the anterior segment of the maxilla of a 15-year-old boy. Complete surgical removal was done followed by the placement of a BIPP dressing at the surgical site. The post-operative clinical outcome was successful whereby the pathologically displaced tooth erupted into the arch spontaneously and was well-aligned without the need for any orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Complete removal of POF lesion followed by good oral hygiene maintenance ensures a favourable outcome and no evidence of recurrence.
