Focal fibrous hyperplasia is a common pathology in the oral cavity, which is characterized by a reactive inflammatory hyperplastic lesion in response to chronic trauma. Although focal fibrous hyperplasia is a common lesion, it frequently does not acquire the corresponding importance by professionals, and it is essential to have a clear understanding of the proper diagnosis and management of this pathology.
