Indian Journal of Applied Research. 2018 Feb; 8(2): 3-62249-555Xhttp://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/184961A variety of localised gingival overgrowths are encountered by a clinician on a regular basis, specially a dentist encounters such growths very frequently; although all the growths show similar clinical features, it is their histological features which are different for each type of growths. Though ignored in daily practice, but histological examination is the only method to form the correct diagnosis avoidance of which could sometimes lead to ignoring serious consequences like malignancies. This article reviews and presents three cases of such growths i.e. Peripheral odontogenic fioma which is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm, Fioid and Pyogenic granuloma. It stresses upon the importance of histopathological examination of all such gingival conditions, and how it is ignored and should be mandatory for such cases.Histopathological ExaminationPeripheral Odontogenic FibromaEpulisPyogenic GranulomaJournal ArticleIndiaProfessor and Head, Department of Periodontics, Principal Sri Aurobindo College of Dentistry.
