Gingival hyperplasia is an overgrowth of gingival tissue around the teeth and it is a rare condition which is characterized by slowly, progressive, non-hemorrhagic fibrotic enlargement of the gingiva. Gingival hyperplasia is also referred to as: “Gingival fibromatosis, gingivomatosis, diffuse fibroma, idiopathic fibromatosis, hereditary gingival hyperplasia, gigantism of gingiva and hypertrophic gingiva”. Gingival enlargement is the proliferation and intensification of the gingiva which is a prevailing character of the diseased gingival tissues. Gingival enlargement is a multifactorial disease and is often attributed to several etiological factors such as plaque, pregnancy, drug induced, systemic hormonal imbalances, leukemias, thrombocytopenia, blood dyscrasias and idiopathic gingival fibromatosis.
