ABSTRACT
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma is a non neoplastic growth of soft tissue which often arises from the interdental papilla and is mostly seen in teenagers and young adults. Here we discuss a case of peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma in a 15 years old male which had been surgically excised previously and recurred after a period of 8 months in the same region. Keeping in mind the recurrence rate, meticulous surgical excision and aggressive curettage of the nearby tissues are to be done to prevent further recurrence.
