Individualized Treatment Plan for Gingival Enlargement: A Case Series

Gingival enlargement is a frequent characteristic of gingival disease produced by excessive growth of gingival tissues or gingival inflammation or amalgamation of both with a distinctive spot in relevant works and has been linked to numerous factors like inflammation, medications, neoplasia, hormonal disturbances, and heredity. The following case series highlights four cases of gingival enlargement, one being Phenytoin-induced, second Amlodipine induced combined with inflammatory enlargement, third inflammatory gingival enlargement and the fourth being inflammatory gingival enlargement combined with mouth breathing. Management per case is different due to different etiologic factors. Hence, for all the cases first, a non-surgical approach was carried out and depending upon the enlargement resolution further surgical procedures with electrosurgery or gingivectomy were performed. Thus, a proper diagnosis with a thorough treatment plan can lead to effective case management.

Conservative management of Amlodipine induced gingival enlargement: A Clinical Report

There are varieties of drugs which can modify the response of gingiva to plaque, clinically representing as gingival enlargement. Amlodipine is one of the drugs known to have shown gingival enlargement as its side effect though there are only a few reported cases. It is the newer generation channel blockers which are used for treatment of cardiovascular diseases like hypertension and angina. Its complementary drug Nifidepine, which also is a calcium channel blocker, has frequently shown to be associated with gingival enlargement but with amlodipine the incidence is rare. The paper presents a reported case of gingival enlargement induced by drug amlodipine in a hypertensive patient with a conservative approach in its management.

GINGIVAL ENLARGEMENT: AN ISSUE OF PINK TISSUE: CASE SERIES

Increase in size of gingiva is a common feature of gingival disease. Accepted current terminology for this condition is gingival enlargement and gingival overgrowth. Gingival enlargement may result from chronic or a cute inflammatory changes. Gingival enlargements are of special concern to the patient and the dentist because they pose problems in plaque control, function (including mastication, tooth eruption and speech), and esthetics. Treatment of gingival enlargeme nt is based on an understanding of the cause and underlying pathologic changes. Because gingival enlargements differ in cause, treatment of each type is best considered individually. Selection of the appropriate technique depends on the size of the enlarge ment and character of the tissue. This article highlights the management of 3 cases of gingival enlargement with a varying etiology.

Mast Cell Stabilizers in Persistent Non-Specific Gingival Hyperplasia

Gingival hyperplasia is one of the most common pathology of the gingiva. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is diagnosed when no etiology can be identified. Few cases of gingival enlargement are associated with abnormal increase in mast cells. This is a case report of a persistent gingival enlargement which regressed after administration of mast cell stabilizer.

Rare Instance of Gingival Enlargement in Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome: A Case Report

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome is a rare congenital malformation that may include port-wine stain, soft tissue and bony hypertrophy, and venous malformations and lymphatic abnormalities. Although it usually involves the limbs, it may also rarely involve the head, neck, and orofacial regions. Despite its rarity, Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gingival enlargement. The condition can be easily recognized clinically, but further investigations including imaging studies have to be carried out in order to better understand the nature of the lesion. This report describes a case of gingival enlargement in Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome in a 16-year-old female patient. The diagnosis of the condition was made based on the patient history, clinical and radiographic examination, computed tomography (CT), and angiogram.
