Peripheral ossifying fibroma is classified under reactive lesions of oral cavity. They are relatively uncommon gingival growth and constitute about 10% of all reactive lesions. Chronic irritation and trauma are considered to be etiological agent. Usually occur in young adults with a female predominance and are solitary in nature. We report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 22-year old female.
