Abstract

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a rare benign oral disorder characterized by non-hemorrhagic, gradually progressive fibrous gingival enlargement. This overgrowth can be so severe that it can impact both maxillaries, on lingual and buccal sides, sometimes completely covering the crowns. This condition can begin during primary dentition and continue throughout adulthood, setting up a cascade of stomatognathic and psychological negative effects. Herewith, we report a case of a non-syndromic 14 year old female who presented with generalized severe gingival enlargement involving both arches and subsequently diagnosed as idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. The chief complaints were unaesthetic appearance and lack of eruption. The excess tissue was surgically removed under general anesthesia, using electrosugery. The patient was issued regular follow-ups to ensure proper oral hygiene and periodontal controls. Awareness of this condition is of utmost importance for early diagnosis and to prevent further complications spilling into adult age.
