Abstract EN
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition which manifests itself by an enlarged gingival tissue covering teeth to various extents.
The condition may occur isolated or as part of a syndrome.
This paper presents a case of 9-year-old female patient suffering from HGF with chief complaint of mouth protrusion.
Cephalometric findings showed severe mandibular deficiency and vertical maxillary excess.
Patient exhibited perioral muscle contraction on mouth closing.
After discussing the treatment possibilities with the patient and her parents, the decision was made to wait until growth potential decreases (following the adolescent growth spurt) and to correct the problem with orthognathic surgery.
