GINGIVAL ENLARGEMENT: AN ISSUE OF PINK TISSUE: CASE SERIES
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Increase in size of gingiva is a common feature of gingival disease. Accepted current terminology for this condition is gingival enlargement and gingival overgrowth. Gingival enlargement may result from chronic or acute inflammatory changes. Gingival enlargements are of special concern to the patient and the dentist because they pose problems in plaque control, function (including mastication, tooth eruption and speech), and esthetics. Treatment of gingival enlargement is based on an understanding of the cause and underlying pathologic changes. Because gingival enlargements differ in cause, treatment of each type is best considered individually. Selection of the appropriate technique depends on the size of the enlargement and character of the tissue. This article highlights the management of 3 cases of gingival enlargement with a varying etiology.
