Abstract

Background: Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rarely benign tumor with an incidence of only 0.1% among all odontogenic tumors, which commonly involve the mandible. Case description: A 9-year-old child reported with asymptomatic bony expansion of the mandible, showing an unilocular radiolucency on an orthopantomogram. The tumor was managed surgically by enucleation, and the surgical stent was placed, which was later modified as a removable functional space maintainer. The patient was followed up for 24 months with the complete healing of periapical radiolucency and the eruption of displaced permanent tooth to the proper position. Conclusion: This case report discusses the importance of the dentist in assessing and diagnosing COF, especially in the pediatric age group.
