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

Figure 3

Clinical case #3. The lesion developed on a buccal aspect between teeth #27 and 28 with no apparent radiographic changes (a–d). The lesion was excised using the Biolase laser (940 nm wavelength) equipped with a 300 μm tip and at an average power of 1 W (e–k). Postoperative healing at 1 week (l, m), 2 weeks (n), 4 weeks (o), and 6 weeks (p, q) revealed uneventful healing with no complications. The patient did not present for further follow-up appointments. Tissue samples harvested during biopsy (r, s) were submitted for histological analysis, and histopathologic findings were found to be pathognomonic in the diagnosis of POF (t, u).
