Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma in a Taiwan Chinese Population: A Retrospective Analysis
A retrospective analysis of 25 cases of peripheral odontogenic fibroma (World Health Organization-type) (PODF [WHO-type]) in a Taiwan Chinese population was performed at a single institution. The clinical findings, which included a wide age distribution, a female preponderance and no racial predilec...
