Irritational fibroma: Sequelae to luxation injury in primary teeth

Abstract

Oral benign lesions in children present a challenge in its diagnosis and management. Irritational fibroma, a benign lesion of the oral cavity, occurs most commonly in the line of occlusion on the buccal mucosa and in the maxillary anterior gingiva. It is rarely seen among children. This paper aims to present a case of irritational fibroma of the gingiva in a 7-year-old female patient as sequelae to irritation following trauma to primary teeth and the use of laser as a modality to excise the tissue.
