Description

Gingival enlargement is a common clinical condition caused by a number of reasons that includes inflammation, medications, systemic diseases and conditions etc. The balance between gingiva and clinical portion of teeth is lost resulting in poor aesthetics. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a rare condition of undetermined cause characterized by progressive fibrous overgrowth of the gingival tissues. Gingivectomy is the treatment of choice which can be done by surgical excision using scalpels, electrocautery & electrosurgery, soft tissue lasers etc. This case report presents “aesthetic management of idiopathic gingival enlargement in a 17 year old male patient.”
