Background: Ossifying fibroma in craniofacial is a rare disease, benign, locally aggressive fibro-osseous tumor. In the recent 2017 WHO classifications, ossifying fibroma divided into 2 type, ossifying fibroma of odontogenic origin and juvenile ossifying fibroma. Choosing the right treatment that can reduce the recurrence rate are particularly challenging. In this systematic review we try to analyse related study to determine the best treatment for ossifying fibroma. Aim: The aim of this review to evaluate best treatment option and analysed level of recurrence in each type of treatment. Method: Collected Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (JOF) and Ossifying Fibroma (OF) related Article from four different database (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Proquest). Study selection was done by using PRISMA strategy. Result: Eight retrospective case series studies were analyzed. Recurrence rate after surgery was 15.3%, most frequent recurrence occurs in conservative surgery. Recurrence rate after conservative surgery was 19.7%, compared with radical surgery which relatively lower in percentage, with recurrence rate after surgery was 10.6%. Conclusion: Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma, especially Trabecular Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (TrJOF), show high recurrence percentage comparing other type. The first-choice management for treating OF was surgical approach. Types of surgery choose to depend on the aggressiveness and morbidity of the disease. Radical surgery was proven better to decrease level of recurrence compared with conservative surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
