Gingival Fibrous Nodules: Report of Four Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gingival Fibrous nodules or gingival nodules are variants of normal oral mucosa. These lesions were apparently identified and named by Giunta in 1999, who reported a series of five cases and additional three cases were later reported by Brannon and his co worker. These appear as either single or multiple firm, pale nodules occurring on the labial attached gingiva-alveolar mucosa junction of either arches. They are non mobile and tend to be present for a long time. No complications of these lesions have been reported. Much information and literature regarding this entity is lacking, even after a decade after the initial publication. This paper reports four new cases of gingival fibrous nodules. Clinically it is important to recognize these as they mimic certain disease process as well.
