Management of A Case of Fibro-epithelial Hyperplasia of Gingiva
Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Fibroepithelial hyperplasia/fibroma is an exophytic growth which occurs due to any reactive or chronic inflammatory condition of the gingiva by plaque, calculus, overhanging margins, trauma and dental appliances. These can cause discomfort to the patient and often causes difficulty in oral hygiene maintenance. This case report presents a case of a fibro-epithelial hyperplasia in a 37 years old female, who presented with a localized diffuse type of gingival enlargement in the left maxillary posterior teeth region. Based on clinical and histopathological evaluation the diagnosis of fibro-epithelial hyperplasia was made. The patient was then kept on regular follow-up and no recurrence of the lesion could be appreciated till date.
