Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a fibromatic and non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingiva that exhibits regions of calcification/ossification. The present case shows a peripheral ossifying fibroma of the maxilla. The lesion was evident on the attached gingiva of maxillary posterior teeth extending from canine to first molar teeth. For management, fibroma was surgically excised and L-PRF membrane was placed over the underlying exposed bone under local anesthesia,. Histological examination was done to confirm the diagnosis of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma. L-PRF membrane as a biomaterial to cover the exposed areas of the bone after surgical excision is an effective option for better secondary intention healing and it provides acceptable results for tissue regeneration.
