Abstract

Sex hormones have long been thought to have an impact on periodontal tissue, bone turnover, wound healing, and the development of periodontal disease. In adolescence, hormonal changes may affect both male and female gingival tissues, altering the tissues’ response to dental plaque and perhaps causing conditioned gingival growth. Such overgrowths may cause several issues, including speech difficulties, gum bleeding, and even aesthetic problems. The ability to deal with hormonal factors linked to the reproductive process is well understood by oral health-care experts. In the current case study, we have covered how to treat gingival inflammatory overgrowth associated with puberty through a nonsurgical approach. The present case report leads us to conclude that nonsurgical treatment for puberty-induced gingival enlargement is the best alternative treatment option than surgical intervention.
