Introduction: Ossifying fibroma is a benign bone neoplasm frequently considered as a type of fibro-bone lesion which can affect both the mandible and the maxilla, but is more frequently seen in the mandible with an incidence of 70 to 90% of cases. Objective: To understand, through a literature review, how the diagnosis and treatment of benign fibro-osseous lesions occurs. Methodology: The present study is an exploratory and descriptive study carried out through a literature review. Results: Lesions in this category include focal cemento-osseous dysplasia and fibrous dysplasia. This group generally presents a similar clinical presentation, radiographic appearance and histological criteria. Conclusion: the evaluation of the patient as a whole should be carried out, not simply focusing on his main complaint, but performing a complete clinical examination, in addition to paying attention to variations in normality and especially pathological changes, so that the patient has a correct diagnosis and receive an appropriate treatment plan.
