Which of the following is false about ossifying fibroma ?

Correct answer: B. Maxilla affected more than the mandible

  • A. Affects people in 3-4 decade of life
  • B. Maxilla affected more than the mandible
  • C. Circumscribed radio opacity
  • D. Continuous growth

Explanation

Ossifying fibroma is usually a well-circumscribed lesion in the third or fourth decade and may enlarge progressively, but it more often affects the mandible than the maxilla. Therefore, saying that the maxilla is affected more commonly is false.
