One hundred and sixty-four cases of localized inflammatory hyperplasia of the oral cavity namely, focal fibrous hyperplasia, pyogenic granuloma, peripheral giant cell granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma were studied. The inflammatory hyperplasia occurred more commonly in females except focal fibrous hyperplasia, which showed male predilection. In this series, the occurrence of peripheral giant cell granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma exclusively on the gingiva supports previous assertion that these lesions probably arise from the superficial periodontal fibers. |
