BACKGROUND There are scarce evidences that evaluated the impact of periodontal disease on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) taking marginal gingival alterations into consideration. Thus, this study aimed to verify the association between OHRQoL and gingival enlargement and gingival bleeding in subjects under fixed orthodontic treatment (FOT). METHODS 330 participants under FOT for ...

Introduction: The healthy gingiva almost completely accommodates the interproximal spaces between teeth in the oral cavity. But sometimes, there is frequent increase in the size of the gingiva, which is called gingival enlargement. It mainly occurs as inflammatory, noninflammatory (fibrous), any drug induced (Cyclosporine A, Phenytoin, Amlodipine, Nifedipine), and mixed type (systemic diseases ...

The gingiva and associated soft tissues of the periodontium may be enlarged in response to various interactions between the host and the environment. Although such enlargement usually represents an inflammatory response to bacterial plaque (91), increased susceptibility as a result of systemic factors or conditions should always be considered during the course of patient evaluation (139). Syste...

Gingival hyperplasia is a rare condition but it is important for cosmetic and mechanic reasons and because of its potential as an indicator of systemic disease. Gingival fibromatosis may exist as an isolated abnormality or as part of a syndrome. Aggressive periodontitis, another genetically transmitted disorder of the periodontium, typically results in severe, rapid destruction of the toothsupp...

Alteration in size of gingiva is one the clinical features periodontal disease. Increase gingiva, which termed as gingival enlargement or over growth a common sign disease and matter great concern. alters physiologic contour creates areas plaque accumulation, intereferes with regular oral hygiene procedures aesthetic problems. In severe cases, it interefere mastication phonation. Enlargement ma...

Many terms have been used to describe gingival overgrowth. The expression gingival hyperplasia (“abnormal increase in the number of normal cells in a normal arrangement in an organ or tissue, which increase in volume”) and gingival hypertrophy (“enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part due to an increase in size of its constituent cells”) have been also used, although gingival overgrowth i...

tuberculosis is a chronic, specifi c granulomatous disease and a major cause of death in developing countries. we report a case of tuberculosis presenting fi rst as periodontal loss of tooth support leading to loose teeth and gingival enlargement affecting a 17-year-old female patient without any pulmonary lesion. diagnosis was based on histopathological examination and positive adenosine deami...

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a relatively rare condition characterized by the proliferation of the gingival tissues resulting in masticatory, esthetics, phonetics and psychological disturbances. We present a case with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extending on buccal and lingual/ palatal surfaces and covering incisal/occlusal third...

Tubercular gingival lesions(Figure.1) may present as exuberant and granulating or as mucosal erosions. Sometimes these lesions may be seen simultaneously with marginal periodontitis[15]. Chronic desquamative gingivitis is associated with chronic infections affecting the gingiva, the most common being tuberculosis. Case reports of gingival tuberculosis appearing as diffuse gingival enlargement [...
