Surgical Periodontal Management of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Series of Three Cases

Figure 2

Clinical case #2. The lesion developed on a palatal aspect between teeth #8 and 9 with no apparent radiographic changes (a–d). The lesion was excised using a scalpel blade (e–g). Postoperative healing at 1-week (h), one-month (i), and three-month (j) follow-up appointments was found to be uneventful. Tissue samples harvested during biopsy (k, l) were submitted for histological analysis, and histopathologic findings were found to be pathognomonic in the diagnosis of POF (m, n).
