Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Increase in size of gingiva is a common feature of gingival disease.Many types of gingival enlargement can be classified in connection with etiological factors and pathological changes. This is clinically designated as gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth. The terms overgrowth or enlargement are descriptive terms. Hyperplasia is a histological term used to describe the increase in a number of cells whereas hypertrophy is an overgrowth due to increased size of the cells. Two cases of gingival overgrowths are reported here. One of the lesion occurred in the mandibular anterior region, while the second case occurred in the maxillary anterior region. Radiographically, both of the cases were no evidence of bone loss. Surgical correction of the gingival overgrowth is still the most frequent treatment. An excision biopsy was performed in both cases. This article highlights the clinical presentation,diagnosis, histological features and treatment of two different cases of gingival overgrowth.
