  • Title: Peripheral odontogenic fibroma associated with a dilacerated maxillary central incisor: a case report.
    Author: Ramachandra SS, Baliga V, Prasad UC.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2011 Oct; 32(8):e120-4. PubMed ID: 23738522.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of a 16-year-old male with peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) in the anterior maxilla associated with dilaceration of a tooth in its vicinity. A solitary, exophytic and sessile growth was present between the maxillary right central and lateral incisors and extended from the labial mucosa to the palatal gingiva. A periapical radiograph of the maxillary right central incisor revealed a shortened and dilacerated root. The growth was excised and sent for histopathologic examination. A diagnosis of POF (World Health Organization type) was rendered. The clinical and microscopic features are discussed.
