Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a benign
lesion of the gingival tissues, considered by some authors as a fibro-osseous
lesion and by others as a reactive inflammatory lesion. It occurs more
frequently in women, is usually asymptomatic and slow-growing, although it can
reach large dimensions if not treated promptly. Its etiology is not fully
defined, but it is associated with local irritative factors such as trauma,
periodontitis, poor oral hygiene, or ill-fitting prostheses. This article
describes the clinical, radiographic, histological and therapeutic
characteristics of peripheral ossifying fibroma, through a literature review
and the presentation of a clinical case operated on at the Zone General
Hospital # 53, Mexican Institute of Social Security, in Mexico City, Mexico.
