Abstract
- Idiopathic gingival overgrowth is an unusual condition that leads to a gigantic overgrowth of the gums without any specific etiology. The enlargement leads to multiple issues and makes chewing difficult for the patient along with the unsightly appearance. Here we present a case of idiopathic gingival enlargement without any syndromic association in a 45- year old female patient. It was managed by surgical treatment including gingivectomy followed by gingivoplasty and was monitored regularly due to its high rate of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
