Abstract
Lesions with fibrous and osseous components include fibrous dysplasia (FD), ossifying fibroma (OF), cementoossifying fibroma (COF), and cementifying fibroma (CF). Fibro-osseous lesions other than FD seem to arise from the periodontal membrane. Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro osseous lesion of the jaw containing varying amounts of calcified deposits such as bone, cementum or both. It is characterised by presenting a deformed growth and an increased volume of slow evolution with a higher incidence in the mandible and provoke tooth displacement. In image examination, it presents diverse shades of radio opacity within the radiolucent lesion being radio opaque in rare occasions. Here in we report 2 cases of central ossifying fibroma and 1 case of juvenile ossifying fibroma with clinical, radiological and histological features with review of literature.
