“…Resective surgery is generally not indicated for such lesions. The most reported and performed surgery consists of scalpel, followed by bone debridement, tooth scaling and root planning, with an approach that is as conservative as possible [39]. Of the 12 studies conducted on pediatric patients that we considered in this review, 9 authors have preferred this conventional treatment strategy because of its wellestablished reliability [8,11,14,20,25,26,28,29,32].…”

Background: Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is a benign gingival tumor generally presenting as a slow-growing mass, usually not ulcerated, and without bleeding. Histopathological exam shows fibrous connective tissue with spots or extensive areas of intralesional calcifications, which can also be detectable on radiograms. Methods and case presentation: We present the case of a 4-year-old male with a retro-incisive swelling of the hard palate, associated with speaking and feeding difficulties. On CT scans, a small intralesional calcification was detected. After conscious sedation, the patient was subjected to diode laser excision (910 nm, 2W, CW, 300 m fiber) with-out post-operative complications. A review was conducted by searching the words “peripheral ossifying fibroma” AND “children” OR “infant” and including manuscripts of the last 15 years. Results: POF is an uncommon lesion of the oral mucosa and may sporadically affect the palatal mucosa in children. Considering its epidemiology and conventional clinical presentation as epu-lis, the pre-operative diagnosis may be relatively difficult. Risk factors could be represented by plaque, calculus, or trauma, all supporting a possible reactive pathogenesis, but a certain etiology is still missing. The main problem of POF is the recurrence rate, which is particularly high (8-20%), thus suggesting that a deep excision is recommended with full extension to the hard tis-sue of bone and to the adjacent periodontal ligament. Diode laser surgery may be recommended for such treatments, especially in pediatric patients, associated with intraoperative conscious se-dation. Data emerging from the relevant literature on POF management in children have been collected and discussed. Conclusions: The authors suggest the use of diode laser for the complete excision of POF, especially in less-compliant patients as children, with a low grade of comorbidi-ties and good outcomes, giving the surgeon a viable alternative to conventional surgery.

“…PCOF is frequently linked to irritants such as calculus deposits, bacteria on the plaque, orthodontic bands and brackets, poorly fitting crowns, and uneven restorations. The periodontal ligament or periosteal cells are a probable source of the mineralised product [2,4]. Radiographs typically show no apparent underlying bone involvement.…”

The peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) lesion primarily affects females in their second decade of living. These lesions are more frequently associated with the gingival margin, the anterior surface of the molars, and the maxilla. On clinical examination, PCOF typically appears as a well-differentiated, slowly expanding gingival mass in the interdental papilla region that is less than 2 cm in size. The surface may seem ulcerated, the base may be sessile or sometimes pedunculated, and the colour is either the same as the gingiva or reddish. The histological examination, which identifies cellular connective tissue and the focal presence of bone or calcifications, provides the basis for the final diagnosis. Treatment modalities for the PCOF include surgical excision of the lesion. A 38-year-old female reported slow-growing swelling associated with the maxillary anterior region. Removal of the lesion is done by using a scalpel, and histopathological examination revealed the peripheral type of cemento-ossifying fibroma. This case report demonstrates the management of PCOF lesions with the conventional scalpel approach with the help of proper clinical examination, radiological findings, and histopathological examination, which reveals favourable outcomes in the patient regarding esthetics and improves mastication-related issues and speech.

“…POF occurs only in the gingiva and interdental papilla and is located in close proximity to the periodontal ligament. Additionally, oxytalan fibers have been found in the mineralized matrix of some POF lesions [ 1 , 2 ]. The condition has been linked to factors that can cause gingival irritation, such as plaque, calculus, rough restorations, ill-fitting crowns, and dental appliances.…”

“…Most lesions are smaller than 2 cm in diameter and rarely grow larger than 10 cm. The tooth is usually not affected; however, migration or mobility may occur [ 1 ]. Conservative local resection is the preferred treatment with clear peripheral and deep margins, including periodontium and periosteum to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.…”

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive, benign gingival enlargement. Its etiology is not fully known. It can be seen in many different sizes in the mouth. The histopathological appearance of POF is mineralized tissue and fibrous proliferation. All relevant soft and hard tissues must be removed to prevent recurrence. Periodontal tissue remaining after excision is important for tooth preservation. With large lesions, the loss of healthy periodontal tissue is also large. Periodontal surgical approaches are important to preserve the remaining periodontal tissue. The positive effects of autogenously obtained titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) and connective tissue graft (CTG) on soft tissue are well known. A 34-year-old woman presented with a fibrous and pedunculated gingival mass in the upper left canine premolar region. The operation was performed with complete excision of the lesion down to the bone along with the surrounding healthy tissue. Periodontal treatment of the large defect created after excision of a large POF lesion was performed with laterally positioned flap, CTG and T-PRF. The periodontal tissue and defect were noted to heal in a healthy manner at the 6-month follow-up. POF is a benign lesion; however, it has a high recurrence rate. Complete elimination of the lesion is crucial to prevent recurrence. Periodontal surgical methods and biomaterials applied after surgical excision are significant to maintain the periodontal health of the remaining teeth and tissues.
