Different Surgical Approach To Idiopathic Gingival Enlargement: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
“Gingival enlargement” is the increase in the size of gingiva which usually overfills the interproximal spaces, ballooning out over the teeth and sometimes even protruding into the oral cavity. It may occur as a localized enlargement or may be generalized involving the entire dentition. It is multifactorial in origin having the influence of bacterial plaque, systemic factors, genetic predisposition, and various medications. Sometimes, it may be idiopathic without any specific etiologic factor. Two different treatment modalities, namely scalpel and electrocautery can be used for treating gingival enlargement. In the present case report, these two different treatment modalities were used in the same patient with idiopathic gingival enlargement to compare their handling properties and effect on initial wound healing.
