Oral mucosa is constantly subjected to external and internal stimuli and therefore manifests a spectrum of diseases that range from developmental, reactive and inflammatory to neoplastic. The gingiva is often the site of localized growths that arise in succession to the hyper inflammatory reaction to the local irritants. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one such reactive lesion which arises from the periodontal ligament with the high predilection in females. This article entails the case report of peripheral ossifying fibroma, its molecular pathogenesis, and its management.
