| Popis: | Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a proliferative fibrous lesion causing severe gingival enlargement, affecting the esthetics, as well as posing various periodontal problems. This case report addresses the diagnosis and treatment of one such rare case of HGF where the patient presented with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extending on the buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces and covering the incisal/occlusal third of the tooth, resulting in altered esthetics, difficulty in speech, and mastication. Gingivectomy was carried out in all the four quadrants using diode laser. The healing was uneventful; the patient was satisfied with her esthetics and was able to resume her oral hygiene practices. Even though recurrence cannot be predicted, the risk of recurrence can be outweighed with the psychological and functional benefits. Long-term follow-up will be required to evaluate the predictability of the different surgical techniques. |
