“…These includes an increase in proliferation of resident tissue fibroblasts, a reduced level of metalloproteinases synthesis (matrix metalloproteinases-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-2), resulting in low levels of extracellular matrix-degrading, an increase in collagen Type I production, heat-shock protein 47 production, and other extracellular matrix components.

Gingival fibromatosis is an enlargement of the gingival tissue, which may be localized or generalized, characterized by hypertrophy and proliferation of the connective tissue, predominantly Type I collagen, with occasional presence of an increased number of cells, supposedly fibroblasts. Gingival fibromatosis occurs more commonly as a side- effect of systemic drugs, such as phenytoin, cyclosporine, nifedipine, or due to hereditary factors. However, in some cases, it is idiopathic. We report one such case in 30 -year- old - female who presented with a complaint of swelling of gums since 2 months. This case appears to be of special interest because of the recurrent nature of gingival enlargement along with excessive osseous destruction.

“… 1 Gingival overgrowth can be ascribed by various etiological factors such as inadequate oral hygiene, plaque accumulation, scanty nutrition, hormonal stimulation, several blood dyscrasias, or intakes of certain drugs like phenytoin, nifedipine, or cyclosporine for a long duration. 2 , 3 The other terminologies of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis are gingival elephantiasis, hereditary gingival fibromatosis, and gingival hypertrophy. Males and females are equally affected and are seen in 1:175,000 people.…”

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.
