This report has discussed the endodontic and surgical management of a peripheral ossifying fibroma that had occurred in the anterior maxillary anterior region, between a central and a lateral incisor in a 12-year-old child. The lesion was diagnosed to have occurred secondary to a pulpo-periodontal irritation.
