Abstract

Objectives: Fibromas are proliferative fibrous lesions of the gingiva and oral mucosa that may cause esthetic and functional problems. Fibrous hyperplasia and Fibro-epithelial hyperplasia are histological variants of these non-neoplasticlesions

Methods: This article addresses the diagnosis, histological features and treatment of two cases of fibroma.

Results: These lesions are a result of trauma/chronic irritation, or arise from cells of periodontium,periodontal ligament, or periosteum.

Conclusion: The cases demonstrate the need for proper diagnosis, role of biopsy and histologic evaluation in management of these lesions

Keywords
