Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one of the reactive lesions that commonly affect gingival. Among the reactive lesions, POF has the characteristic of recurrence. At present, we reported the POF case of recurrence in a healthy male 25 years old who had surgery in the same area in the last 4 years. In this patient, the lesion shows clinical features similar to pyogenic granuloma, leading to confusion in the clinical diagnosis; therefore, a biopsy must be performed. In addition, the recurrence of the lesion may be caused by incomplete surgery of the lesion in previous treatment. Therefore, in this case, we treated the lesion with excisional surgery and root planning with tooth N; 23 to remove the periodontal ligament and periosteal, but we didn’t extract tooth N; 23 because the patient was not available. However, we also suggest the patient come to the clinic for follow-up.
