Different Surgical Approaches for the Treatment of Gingival Overgrowth of Inflammatory Origin not Amenable to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy – A Case Series
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Inflammatory gingival overgrowth or enlargement is the most common type of gingival overgrowth seen mostly associated with the presence of local factors that predispose to it. The treatment of such enlargement is necessary as it acts as a niche for plaque accumulation and colonization by various periodontopathogenic bacteria. These overgrowths may cause bleeding on slight manipulation, interfere with occlusion or may get complicated with superinfections. The following two cases describe different surgical approaches for the treatment of inflammatory gingival enlargement. The choice of approach depends on the nature of enlargement, underlying bony topography and patient’s esthetic and functional needs.
