Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis – case report
Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a type of gingival fibromatosis characterized by progressive overgrowth of the gingival tissues.This case report presented the clinical features of a typical idiopathic gingival enlargement which was treated with external bevel gingivactomy. The patient presented with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extending on buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces and covering incisal/occlusal third of the tooth resulting in difficulty in speech and mastication since last three years. Gingivectomy was carried outto improve patient's quality of life. Since removal of hyperplastic gingival tissue eliminates difficulties in eating and speaking. Therefore, this surgical intervention improves access for plaque control, and leads to psychological benefits due to esthetic improvement. In this case, even after one year from following-up, no recurrence of gingival overgrowth was observed. Keyword: Gingival Overgrowt...
An unusual case of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis
Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2013
Idiopathic gingival fibromatosisis, a condition of undetermined cause can develop as an isolated disorder, but mostly it is associated with some syndrome. It usually begins at the time of eruption of permanent teeth but can develop with the eruption of deciduous dentition and rarely present at birth. This case report describes an unusual case of non-syndromic generalized idiopathic gingival fibromatosis in a 15-year-old male present since birth. Surgical treatment in the form of ledge and wedge procedure with internal bevel gingivectomy was performed. No recurrence of enlargement was seen after 2 years of follow-up.
Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis - a Case Series
International Journal of Advanced Research, 2020
Unusual Cases with the complaint of swollen gums in the region of left upper and lower back teeth since 2years of are presented. They had moderate to severe, unilateral diffuse gingival enlargement in the maxilla and mandible. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and histopathological examination after ruling out drug and family history. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic tissue was done.
Idiopathic Gingival Enlargement -A Case Report
Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a rare proliferative fibrous lesion of the keratinized gingival tissue of maxillary and mandibular arches due to increase in submucosal connective tissue elements that cause esthetic and functional problems. This case report addresses the overview of gingival fibromatosis in 17yearoldfemale. The patient presented with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and posterior teeth in mandibular arches extending on buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces of the teeth resulting in difficulty in speech and mastication since last 4-5 years. Based on the history and clinical examination, the diagnosis was made and the enlarged tissue was surgically removed.

Objective: Rare disease Background: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is characterized by slowly progressive enlargement of the gingiva that can present as an isolated condition or a part of various syndromes. Case Report: An 11-year-old female reported with a gingival lesion that caused masticatory problems and poor oral hygiene. Periodontal examination revealed a dense tissue covering 30% of her teeth crowns within both jaws. Panoramic x-ray showed a normal bone height and teeth positioning. The patient did not use any medications, but a similar condition was also present in other family members. The patient was diagnosed with hereditary gingival fibromatosis. Surgery was carried out to remove excess of gingival tissue. Post-surgical healing was uneventful, but four weeks after the first surgery, the condition recurred amounting to 45% of the initial tissue volume presenting in the mandible, and 25% in the maxilla. Two months later, no significant growth was noted in the mandible, while in the maxilla, growth increased to 40% of the pre-operative state. Analysis by polarized microscope showed a significant increase of thin fibrotic fibrils that contributed 80% of the total pool of collagen fibrils in the patient's gingiva, but only 25% in healthy gingiva. The patient was receiving outpatient care for follow-up every three months and surgical intervention had not been planned as long as her periodontal health would not be compromised. Conclusions: It is currently not clear whether the extent of the fibrosis had a mechanistic association with the ratio of gingival tissue re-growth in our case study. Further studies are needed to explain this association and improve the management of this condition.

Hereditary gingival fi bromatosis is a rare condition characterized by various degree of gingival overgrowth. It usually develops as an isolated disorder but can manifest with multisystem syndrome. We are here presenting a case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with severe enlargement of gingiva covering all most the entire crown involving both maxillary and mandibular arches. Differential diagnosis includes drug-induced and idiopathic gingival enlargement. Excess gingival tissue was removed by full mouth gingivectomy and sent for histopathological examination. Postoperative course was uneventful and patient's esthetics improved signifi cantly. A 12 month postoperative period shows no recurrence.
