Abstract

‘Ossifying fibroma’can be described as a rare benign neoplasm classified under fibro-osseous lesions.Arising from the periodontal ligament’s mesenchymal blast cells, it forms bone, cementum as well asosteo-cementum like hard tissue. Though a benign osseous tumour, it exhibits an aggressive behaviouron recurrence. Clinical features vary from swelling, facial asymmetry, mild displacement of teeth, pain orparaesthesia when there is entrapment of nerves. As in other osseous neoplasms, this also has radiologicchanges ranging from a mixed radiopaque-radiolucent to a totally radiopaque appearance, but there is nopathognomonic manifestation. Maxillary lesions have to be differentiated from fibrous dysplasia. A casereport of ossifying fibroma in the anterior maxilla is reported here.
