Treatment and Long-term Follow-up of a Patient with Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: A Case ReportFULL TEXT
• Anastasia Kelekis-Cholakis, BA, DMD, Dip Perio • A b s t r a c tThe initial course of treatment included 4-quadrant gingivectomy with reverse bevel incisions, followed by orthodontics. Microscopic examination of the gingivectomy specimens supported the clinical diagnosis. Three years later, recurrence of the condition was observed in all quadrants. To facilitate orthodontic tooth movement and to achieve optimal esthetics, another full-mouth gingivectomy was performed. There was no recurrence of the condition a year later. It is recommended that patients with this condition be monitored closely after gingivectomy, so that the treatment requirements of localized areas can be addressed as needed.
