    AbstractLocalized overgrowths of gingiva such as peripheral fibroma, peripheral ossifying/cementifying fibroma, pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell granuloma belong to a common group of lesions designated as focal reactive overgrowths (FROG). These growths are reactive in nature. They occur in response to chronic, low grade irritation caused by plaque or any other irritant. Etiology, clinical features and treatment modes of these lesions are the same with slight variations. The present case series describes five different cases of FROG where the lesions were treated by surgical excision under local anesthesia followed by a three month re-evaluation where no recurrences were observed.
