CLINICAL CASE: TREATMENT OF FIBROUS HYPERPLASTIC GINGIVITIS
Keywords:
Treatment Methods Before treatment: The patient exhibited hypertrophy, thickening, and pronounced hyperemia (redness) of the interdental papillae in the area of the anterior teeth on both jaws. The overgrown gingiva covered up to half the height of the clinical crowns of the teeth, was painful, and bled upon palpation. There were abundant soft and hard dental deposits present.Abstract
Relevance The treatment of the fibrous form of hyperplastic gingivitis presents significant difficulties. The disease progresses due to poor oral hygiene, where soft and hard dental deposits cause constant irritation of the marginal gingiva and its reactive overgrowth. With a prolonged course, the tissues undergo fibrous degeneration. In such cases, removing only the causative factor (plaque) is not sufficient to restore the original gum contour, and surgical correction is required.
