Prognosis of one condition may influence the prognosis of another condition. The presented case highlights the significance of proper diagnosis and the management of simultaneously occurring gingival lesions. A 49\u2010year\u2010old hypertensive female presented with painful enlarged bleeding and suppurating gums with burning sensation on eating food along with long\u2010term usage of antihypertensive drug amlodipine known for its gingival enlargement effect. All these multiple factors led to diagnostic dilemma. Effective management of the gingival enlargement was done by using electrocautery to rehabilitate the functions and esthetics of the patient. Gingival condition was also complicated by the presence of coexisting lichen planus which was predominantly erosive for which topical corticosteroid, antifungal, and antimicrobial agents were prescribed. Eight\u2010month follow\u2010up did not show recurrence of gingival enlargement. Electrocautery is an effective tool for the gingivectomy in severe inflammatory type of gingival enlargement because of rapid postoperative hemostasis. For the management of erosive lichen planus, long\u2010term use of topical corticosteroids is an effective approach. Maintenance of oral hygiene and regular follow\u2010ups are essential for these conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/538538","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,9]],"date-time":"2015-03-09T17:01:07Z","timestamp":1425920467000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Severe Gingival Enlargement with Coexisting Erosive Lichen Planus in Severe Chronic Periodontitis Patient"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Ambika","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chakshu","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vijay P.","family":"Mathur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Divesh","family":"Sardana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,9]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Carranza\u2032s Clinical Periodontology","year":"2007","author":"Newman M.
