Management of Peripheral Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma Associated With Maxillary Anterior Teeth: A Case Report.
Curēus 2023 November
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.
