Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this retrospective analysis is to document and discuss the features, treatment rendered and result of 25 histologically proven cases of ossifying fibromas of jaw bones operated by a single surgeon over a period of 10 years.
Materials and Methods
The records of ossifying fibroma were obtained from the archives of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) from 2001 to 2011. Only those cases were included in the study where definitive surgery was performed based on clinical, radiological & histopathological features.
Results
Twenty-five patients were analyzed with a final diagnosis of ossifying fibroma comprising of 14 males (56 %) and 11 females (44 %). The age range was 11–45 years with a mean of 24.12 years. Mandible was involved in 72 % and maxilla in 28 % cases with a predominance of mandibular posterior [19 (76 %)] cases. The study showed similar findings in regard to clinical, radiographic & histological features of ossifying fibroma as compared to other studies. It also showed that the treatment rendered in the form of eneucleation, curettage or resection of the lesion depending on its stage and extent were adequate, as no recurrence has been reported till date.
Conclusion
Enucleation is preferred in small and well demarcated lesions. Curettage should be done in relatively large lesions with ill defined borders, not involving basal bone of mandible or cortical perforation. Resection should be reserved for aggressive and extensive cases with involvement of basal bone or perforation of cortices.
