An interesting case of strawberry shaped gingival overgrowth in a patient with deep anxiety and severe trepidation to medical treatment
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma though not a new entity, is an issue of concern primarily if it has an impact on the esthetic appearance and phonetics. A 55 year old female patient presented to the department of Periodontics with a similar lesion but, of a larger size and duration of 15 years. Excision of the lesion was done with scalpel. The key features of the case were the apprehensive nature of the patient and the post operative complication of de novo hypertension, which was successfully managed. This case mainly stands as an example of the role of a clinician in gaining patient's confidence which is of prime importance in the successful outcome of the treatment. It also emphasizes on the post operative monitoring of the patient's status for preventing further complications.
