An oral fibroma is a benign scar-like reaction frequently resulting from chronic mouth irritation. It is also called an oral polyp, fibrous nodule, localised intraoral fibrous hyperplasia, and traumatic fibroma. Chronic irritation from things like biting one's lips or cheek, orthodontic treatments, rubbing against a hard tooth, or wearing dentures or other dental prostheses is frequently the cause. It is often the same colour as the surrounding mouth lining, but occasionally, it can be paler or appear darker if it has bled. Trauma can cause the surface to become rough and scaly or ulcerated. It is primarily dome-shaped and similar to a pedunculated polyp. A traumatic fibroma most frequently occurs on the inside of the cheek. The inside of the lower lip, the gingiva, and the sides of the tongue are other frequent locations. The given case series reported traumatic fibroma associated with anterior teeth and buccal mucosa treated with a conventional scalpel and diode laser techniques, respectively. Diagnosing and treating the aetiology and educating the patient about the same is essential in fibroma cases. The clinical features of both claims and mere aetiology confirmed the diagnosis. The sole option available when therapy is needed is a surgical fibroma excision. Surgical excision is the most popular method for treating oral or traumatic fibromas. Two ways are available for the surgical removal of an oral fibroma: with a scalpel or using a diode laser. Both case presentations demonstrate that surgical excision with a scalpel and diode laser was discovered to be a simple, efficient, and affordable method for treating traumatic fibroma in this report, which presents two traumatic fibromas with different locations with varying aetiology. Traumatic fibromas reported here were in the aesthetic zones, which need to be treated as they can cause traumatic occlusion and difficulty chewing and speech. The patients reviewed for the next three months revealed complete satisfactory healing and no recurrence in both cases.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a rare, benign oral lesion that can resemble other common growths and has only a few documented cases.
  • It typically appears in areas like the masticatory mucosa, with its exact cause still uncertain, but it's thought to arise from monocyte/macrophage lineage.
  • In a reported case, a 20-year-old male had a keratotic growth on his lower lip that was diagnosed as OVX through histopathology and immunohistochemistry; it was successfully surgically excised with no recurrence afterward.

Oral fibromas typically appear as smooth bumps that match the color of the surrounding oral tissues and usually do not cause additional symptoms. They are benign tumors of fibrous tissue origin that develops as a result of continuous irritation or damage. Fibroma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor in the mouth.
