Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Generalized gingival enlargement can be caused by a variety of etiological factors. Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare genetically inherited condition, which manifests itself by fibrous gingival overgrowth. It can develop as an isolated disorder or can be a feature of a syndrome. This paper presents a case report of a 14 year old female who presented with a generalized gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches and covering almost the whole dentition. Patient’s medical and drug history is not contributory. All the investigations were within the normal physiological limits. The enlarged gingival tissue is surgically excised by conventional gingivectomy procedure and through periodontal flap technique. Postoperatively, patient’s esthetic and function was improved and there was no recurrence of the condition upto 3 months follow up period.
