Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis – a case series and review

Gingival hyperplasia is a rare condition and is of importance for cosmetic and mechanical reasons. Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, a benign, slow-growing proliferation of the gingival tissues, is genetically heterogeneous. The enlargement is most intense during the eruption of the primary and permanent teeth, and minimal or nondetectable growth is observed in adults. The purpose of this paper is to report a case series of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. The diagnosis was established through history and clinical examination. Surgical treatment, which included both gingivectomy and undisplaced flap with multiple teeth extraction was carried out.
