DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF IDIOPATHIC GINGIVAL FIBROMATOSIS: A CASE REPORT

Objectives: To discuss the diagnosis and management of a case of non syndromic Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis
Methods: Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty
Results: 1.Elimination of pseudopockets
2.Achieved acceptable gingival morphology and contours for aesthetic appearance to the patient
Conclusions: Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a rare disorder with a poorly understood etiopathogenesis Management should include: comprehensive medical, dental history and physical examination to rule out any causative factors, improvement in patient performed plaque control. Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty improves esthetics, patient’s psychological status and enhances function. Further cellular and molecular studies are required to unravel underlying mechanisms in the aetiology of IGF
