Treatment for ossifying fibroma itself has their own complications which result as defect in the area that were affected on surgery. Even so, characteristics and treatment of ossifying fibroma itself differs in distinct population. Therefore, it was important to study the characteristic and treatment of ossifying fibroma at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during 2019 – 2021. Methods: The sample in this study patients that are diagnosed by histopathologic finding to be with ossifying fibroma during January of 2019 until December of 2021 at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. There were 17 patients that met the inclusion criteria. This study was conducted using total sampling method and is a retrospective descriptive study using medical records of patients that met the inclusion criteria.
