Introduction: Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a gingival lesion of a reactive nature, characterized as a fibrocellular hyperplastic mass with calcified foci. It represents 2–9% of all gingival lesions, and it is the third most common lesion of all localized reactive hyperplastic lesions. The present study describes a POF removal and repair with one year of follow-up.
Case Report: The patient presented an increase in tissue volume in the papilla region between teeth 33 and 34, with no report of pain and with aesthetic impairment. Radiographically, no pathological changes were noted in bone and dental structures.
Conclusion: The proposed treatments were excisional biopsy associated with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) by tunnel technique. Histologically, it revealed the presence of parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium overlying a fibrocellular connective tissue stroma, confirming the diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma. The treatment was successful, guaranteeing patient aesthetic satisfaction after one year of follow-up.
