Abstract
Focal reactive gingival overgrowths (FRGO) are commonly occurring lesions in the oral cavity. The incidence of these lesions in the clinical dental practice is moderate and may occur in response to external or internal chronic stimuli in the fibrous connective tissue of the gingiva. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one among them whose pathogenesis is uncertain. The predilection of occurrence is high in females and maxilla is the common site of occurrence. The aim of this paper is to present a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in mandible, which is an uncommon site of occurrence. The patient was painless but had difficulty in phonetics and mastication. The radiographic findings showed no bone involvement and the histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The case was solely managed with diode laser excision with minimal patient compliance. The patient was under follow-up and had not shown any signs of recurrence 6 months after the excision.
