Abstract
Rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jaw bones and are included in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumors, Cemento-Ossifying fibromas are usually reported in the middle age with a female predominance unlike that reported in this case. Mostly occurring in the mandible and presents as a painless swelling. A traumatic event may act pre disposing factor or a trigger for development and progression of such lesions of jaw. Considering similar event, exodontia, one of the routine minor surgical procedure performed in a dental setup, might pose as a either pre disposing factor or a trigger. The present article intends to establish the connection between occurrence of such an unlikely case of Central Ossifying fibroma of the mandible hypothesized to have been triggered post extraction.
