Abstract

Inflammatory gingival enlargement, also synonymous with the terms gingival hyperplasia or gingival hypertrophy, can be defined as an abnormal growth of gingival tissues. It can be associated with chronic periodontitis. The present case report describes a case of long standing gingival enlargement in a systemically healthy, non-syndromic young female involving the anterior region of both the arches. Surgical therapy was carried out to provide a good aesthetic outcome. No recurrence was reported at the end of one year recall.
