Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a fibrotic enlargement of the gingiva. It may exist as an isolated abnormality or as part of multisystem syndrome. This paper reports a case of 16-year-old male with generalized severe gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches and covering almost all teeth.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Periodontal management of gingival enlargement included gingivectomy in both arches except in the lower right molar region where flap surgery was done under general anesthesia. After a 2-month followup period, orthodontic treatment was started with fixed appliances. Monthly periodontal checkups and maintainance (scaling and polishing) were scheduled to control the gingival inflammation.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Reevaluation of the patient of surgical treatment after two months did not show any recurrence of condition; however, minimal overgrowth was noted 1 month after the beginning of orthodontic treatment which was treated nonsurgically.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Although the risk of recurrence is high with this condition, surgical treatment with correction of malocclusion and regular followup can provide excellent outcome as seen in this case.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/575979","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,23]],"date-time":"2010-12-23T20:21:08Z","timestamp":1293135668000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Multispeciality Approach in the Management of Patient with Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: 1-Year Followup: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2010","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Ramakrishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital, Maduravoyal, Chennai 95, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manmeet","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital, Maduravoyal, Chennai 95, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"597","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345660450032401","volume":"45","year":"1966","journal-title":"Journal of Dental Research"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2006.050379"},{"issue":"7","key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"472","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1974.45.7.472","volume":"45","year":"1974","journal-title":"Journal of Periodontology"},{"issue":"6","key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1834-7819.1993.tb04755.x","volume":"38","year":"1993","journal-title":"Australian Dental Journal"},{"issue":"4","key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"493","DOI":"10.14219\/jada.archive.1996.0242","volume":"127","year":"1996","journal-title":"Journal of the American Dental Association"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2005.76.12.2299"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2003.74.8.1225"},{"issue":"3","key":"8","first-page":"195","volume":"13","year":"1977","journal-title":"Birth Defects: Original Article Series"},{"issue":"3","key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"433","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.1320250305","volume":"25","year":"1986","journal-title":"American Journal of Medical Genetics"},{"issue":"7","key":"10","first-page":"210","volume":"7","year":"1971","journal-title":"Birth Defects Original Article Series"},{"issue":"3","key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"404","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(05)82053-0","volume":"119","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Pediatrics"},{"issue":"1","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.3109\/15513818609025925","volume":"6","year":"1986","journal-title":"Pediatric Pathology"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/302048"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/geno.2001.6542"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/339689"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/154405910708600104"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2010\/575979.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2010\/575979.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2010\/575979.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,19]],"date-time":"2017-06-19T17:37:56Z","timestamp":1497893876000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2010\/575979\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010]]},"references-count":16,"alternative-id":["575979","575979"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2010\/575979","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-8728","1687-8736"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-8728","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-8736","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010]]}}}
