“…HGF is a highly unusual condition characterized by a benign gingival overgrowth. It is inherited in an autosomal-dominant or, less frequently, autosomal-recessive manner [ 10 , 11 ]. Autosomal-dominant non-syndromic forms of HGF acquired by inheritance are associated with the chromosomes 2p21-p22 and 5q13-q22 [ 11 ].…”

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is an uncommon condition characterized by a benign, local, or diffuse gingival overgrowth. It may cover the teeth partially or totally, causing essential aesthetic, phonetic, and masticatory disorders. In this report, we discuss a case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with severe gingival enlargement. The diagnosis of HGF was made based on clinical examination and family history, with two of the patient’s brothers and his paternal aunt being affected with the same disease. The patient was managed with electrosurgery under general anesthesia.

“…Gingival fibromatosis is an infrequent, benign condition that can be cropped up as an isolated disease, chromosomal abnormality, or can be associated with the syndromes. 11 It may be congenital or hereditary. 1 The pathogenesis behind the gingival fibromatosis is still not known but it has been observed that increased synthesis of collagen and proliferation of gingival fibroblast may be involved.…”

A bstract Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a genetic rare disorder, which is characterized by a progressive enlargement of the gingiva. Gingival enlargement is an overgrowth of the gingiva, which can be caused by various etiological factors such as poor oral hygiene, plaque accumulation, inadequate nutrition, hormonal stimulation, several blood dyscrasias, or long-term intake of certain drugs like phenytoin, nifedipine, or cyclosporine. A 14-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Periodontology, Mahatma Gandhi Dental College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan with her chief complaint of swollen gums in both upper and lower arches since 3 years, which was gradual in onset and increased in size since 4 months which covered almost half of the surface of each tooth. Also reported that 3 years ago, there was similar swelling for which surgical intervention in form of gingivectomy was carried out. The treatment plan for this case was followed by phase 1 therapy (scaling and root planing) and after completion of phase 1 therapy, the labial tissue from the mandibular anterior region was excised and sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological appearance revealed idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. Thereafter, the conventional gingivectomy under local anesthesia was performed to remove excess gingival overgrowth.

“…It affects interdental papillae and marginal and attached gingiva unlike drug induced enlargement in which attached gingiva is uninvolved. The severity may vary from mild involvement of one quadrant to severe involvement of all four quadrants [4]. The enlarged tissues can partially or totally cover the crowns, cause diastemas and pseudopockets, delay tooth eruption, and cause malocclusion.…”

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare, benign disorder with slowly progressive enlargement of maxillary and mandibular gingiva. Herewith, we report the first case series of HGF presenting among mother and all of her 3 children. Their complaints included unaesthetic appearance due to gingival growth, malocclusion, and difficulty in mastication. Conventional gingivectomy with oral hygiene measures and regular followup is the treatment of choice for such presentation.
