FIBROUS HYPERPLASTIC GINGIVITIS TREATMENT: A CLINICAL CASE
Keywords:
The patient presented with hypertrophy, thickness, and significant hyperaemia of the interdental papillae in the front region of both jaws. The hypertrophied gingiva obscured up to fifty percent of the clinical crown height of the teeth, was uncomfortable, and exhibited haemorrhage upon probing. Numerous soft and hard dental deposits were seen.Abstract
The management of fibrous hyperplastic gingivitis poses considerable challenges. The condition advances as a result of inadequate oral hygiene, whereby soft and hard dental deposits induce persistent irritation of the marginal gingiva and its subsequent reactive hyperplasia. The tissues experience fibrous deterioration over an extended duration. In many instances, the mere elimination of the causal element (plaque) is inadequate to reinstate the natural gum shape, necessitating surgical intervention.
