Peripheral ossifying fibroma in a newborn: A potential complication after natal teeth extraction. (2022). Odontoestomatología, 24(40), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2022n40e413
Abstract
Oral soft tissue injuries are rare in newborns and can lead to inappropriate feeding, growth, and cognitive development. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive lesion of the gingiva, with only five cases reported in newborns.
Objective: To report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a newborn, and to discuss the complications associated with natal/neonatal teeth. Clinical case: A 4-month-old Mexican male presented two natal teeth that were extracted fifteen days after birth. Subsequently, soft tissue growth was observed in this area, with two radiopaque zones radiographically identified. With the presumptive diagnosis of reactive lesion, an excisional biopsy was performed, with satisfactory evolution during follow-up.
Conclusions: Peripheral ossifying fibroma should be considered as a potential complication due to the presence or extraction of natal/neonatal teeth, and should be treated promptly due to its clinical repercussions.
