Gingiva is often the site of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Peripheral Ossifying Fibromas (POFs) are benign reactive gingival overgrowth; comprising about 9% of all gingival growths which can occur in response to trauma or irritation. It occurs mainly in the anterior portion of maxilla in young adults, predominantly among females. In this article, we are presenting a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma occurring in a 60 year old female patient as a solitary painless growth in the anterior maxillary gingiva.
