  • Gingival fibromatosis is a rare oral condition that is characterized by proliferative fibrous overgrowth of the attached gingiva, the marginal gingiva, and the interdental papilla, typically presenting in the growth period. A case of a 27-month-old girl with a generalized severe gingival overgrowth is described herein. The patient had no known systemic disease, but enlarged gingival tissue had gradually covered her teeth. The excess gingival tissue was removed by conventional gingivectomy, which involved extraction of the retentive primary teeth under general anesthesia when she was 5 years old. Post surgical follow-up at 18 months after the surgery demonstrated no recurrence. Resectional surgery of the enlarged gingival tissue is the treatment choice for gingival fibromatosis, although there is a high risk of recurrence. More frequent professional follow-ups and oral hygiene instruction might be required. A delay in the surgical treatment may have significant consequences for the patient, such as primary dentition retention and consequent delay in the eruption of the permanent teeth, difficulties in mastication and phonation, malpositioning of the teeth, and psychological problems. Early surgical treatment should be performed according to the severity of enlargement.

  • Anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers and immunosuppressants are representative drugs related with gingival enlargement. Clinical signs and symptoms caused by drug-induced gingival enlargment frequently appear within 1 to 3 months after medication. At initial stage, it is limited to attached gingiva but may extend coronally and interfere with esthetics, mastication and speech. Interproximal spaces are common beginning area and pathologic teeth migration could be occurred by the lesion. Withdrawal or substitution of medication would be the most effective treatment of drug-induced gingival enlargement. However, periodontal treatment and further supportive periodontal therapy should be provided where change in medication is impossible. The present study reports the cases which show the resolution of inflammation with spontaneous teeth migration without change in medication. In all cases discussed in this report could be efficiently managed with proper periodontal treatment and further supportive periodontal therapy.

  • Enlargement of the gingiva caused by phenitoin, an anticonvulsant used in the treatment of epilepsy, occurs in some of the patients receiving the drug. Its incidence varies from 3 to 62 percent, with the greater frequencies in younger patients. The hyperplasia is usually generalized throughout the mouth, but is more severe tendency in the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions, 18 year old male patient was admitted to our Department of Dentistry with the complaint of generalized painless gingival swelling. After the consult of the N.M. and laboratory study, the gingivectomy and gingivoplasty was performed. The periodontal pack and tin foil was applied on the attached gingiva to protect a surgical site and bleeding control. We obtained a good result of improved esthetics and function.
