Introduction: Gingival overgrowth is a typical clinical manifestation of reactive lesions, which can develop from either known or unknown triggers. There is a dearth of new literature on these reactive conditions, despite the fact that they exert significant influence on the patient's aesthetics, psychology, and oral function. As a result, this report presents three cases of reactive gingival overgrowths. Case Presentation: The three cases of gingival overgrowth that are reported included two females and one male with ages 42 years, 19 years, and 39 years respectively. Traumatic 11mm x 7mm gingival overgrowth was observed in Case 1. Traumainduced sessile gingival overgrowth was 10mm x 8mm in Case 2. Case-3 had 12mm x 9mm pedunculated gingival overgrowth. None of the overgrowths showed any radiographic bone loss or clinical attachment loss. In each of the three cases, the dental hygiene was excellent. Conclusion: Taking into account and comparing the clinical characteristics of these overgrowths with the existing literature, they are identified as reactive pyogenic granuloma. The reported cases shed light on diagnostic steps for this pathology and serve as a reminder for upcoming dental clinicians and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
