Abstract EN
Gingival enlargements are quite common and may be either inflammatory, noninflammatory, or a combination of both.
Gingival hyperplasia is a bizarre condition causing esthetic, functional, psychological, and masticatory disturbances of the oral cavity.
Causes of gingival enlargement can be due to plaque accumulation, due to poor oral hygiene, inadequate nutrition, or systemic hormonal stimulation (Bakaeen and Scully, 1998).
It can occur as an isolated disease or as part of a syndrome or chromosomal abnormality.
A progressive fibrous enlargement of the gingiva is a facet of idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia of the gingiva (Carranza and Hogan, 2002; Gorlin et al., 1976).
It is described variously as fibromatosis gingivae, gingivostomatitis, hereditary gingival fibromatosis, idiopathic fibromatosis, familial elephantiasis, and diffuse fibroma.
We present a case of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis with its multidisciplinary approach of management.
