In addition, the tendency of gum tissue to overgrow can be inherited (i.e., hereditary gingival fibromatosis - HGF) or there could be a systemic cause for the condition. (lamasdental.com)
Introduction: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition presenting varied degrees of gingival enlargement. (bvsalud.org)
Conclusion: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis stands apart from other gingival enlargements in the varied treatment options available and the nature of recurrence post treatment. (bvsalud.org)
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare disease (1 in 750,000) and belongs to a group of benign disorders characterized by firm, enlarged gingival tissues that cover most of the anatomic crowns. (bvsalud.org)
Histological features of hereditary gingival fibromatosis are non specific. (bvsalud.org)
The present case report depicts one of the unusual presentations of hereditary gingival fibromatosis which was associated with massive destruction of periodontal tissues and deals with the management employing a novel surgical procedure. (bvsalud.org)
Hyperplasia3
One issue that can be addressed using these advanced procedures includes gingival hyperplasia (i.e., overgrown gum tissue). (lamasdental.com)
It has also been designated with other terms such as idiopathic fibromatosis, congenital familial fibromatosis, gingivomatosis, and elephantiasis gingivae 11 . (bvsalud.org)
Mandibular2
Commonly the patient will have mandibular and maxilliary inflammation and overgrowth as opposed to the traditional pink, firm, and fleshy consistency of healthy gingiva. (wikipedia.org)
Case report: A case of a 16-year-old female is reported who presented generalized extensive gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches covering almost two thirds to three quarters of all teeth. (bvsalud.org)
Enlargement5
There also may or may not be any signs of medical and/or family history of mental retardation, hypertrichosis, nor clinical symptoms that can be associated with gingival enlargement. (wikipedia.org)
Although, enlargement of gingiva, interdental papilla, hindered speech, and secondary inflammatory changes taking place in the mouth commonly at the marginal gingiva are all very indicative of this condition. (wikipedia.org)
This is a rare genetic condition that causes a slow, progressive enlargement of the gingival tissue. (lamasdental.com)
Also, if this condition develops during pregnancy, once the baby is born, gingival enlargement correction via dental intervention is usually not necessary, as the condition resolves on its own. (lamasdental.com)
In return these tissues respond in a number of enigmatic ways, one such response is gingival overgrowth or enlargement. (bvsalud.org)
Tissue11
Typically, when we think of a movie-star's smile we visualize a set of straight, bright-white teeth with a minimal amount of gingival tissue (i.e., gum tissue) showing and contours that appear balanced with his or her upper lip. (lamasdental.com)
For the most part, a gummy smile is caused by an overgrowth of the gingival tissue around the necks of the teeth, a short lip and small teeth. (lamasdental.com)
What Causes the Gingival Tissue to Overgrow? (lamasdental.com)
A gummy-looking smile can be the direct result of swollen gingival tissue. (lamasdental.com)
This plaque and tartar irritate the gingival tissue, leading to inflamed, red, tender gums that easily bleed. (lamasdental.com)
If treatment for overgrown gingival tissue is not sought, the likelihood of developing gum disease (i.e., gingivitis) increases. (lamasdental.com)
The bacteria, plaque and tartar may build up beneath the overgrown gingival tissue, as the body's immune system attacks the bacteria, it also attacks this excess tissue. (lamasdental.com)
Treatment was excision of the gingival tissue by a modified gingivectomy technique with both manual instrumentation and electrosurgery. (bvsalud.org)
Healthy gingival tissue completely fills the interproximal spaces between the teeth and surrounds the neck of the teeth in a collar like fashion with a knife or feather edged margin. (bvsalud.org)
Orthodontic treatment is responsible for gingival overgrowth (go), a clinical condition charac-terized by pathological, diffuse, or localized growth of gingival tissue. (bvsalud.org)
The objective of this study is to identify and describe the distribution of type I collagen in the gingival tissue of patients with go because of fixed orthodontics. (bvsalud.org)

Inflammation Hormonal Imbalance Neoplasia More commonly associated with an autosomal dominant gene inheritance Multi-system syndromes: Zimmerman-Laband syndrome, Jones syndrome, Ramon syndrome, Rutherford syndrome, juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, systemic infantile hyalinosis, and mannosidosis Some unknown causes Genetic linkage studies are among the most popular methods of study to look at the mechanism of this HGF. (wikipedia.org)
2p21-p222
Specific linkage studies have localized the mutation for isolated, nonsyndromic autosomal dominant forms of gingival fibromatosis to chromosomes 2 and 5, more specifically 2p21-p22 and 5q13-q22. (wikipedia.org)
Current literatures report a defect in the Son of sevenless-1 gene (SOS-1) on chromosome 2p21-p22 (HGF1) as a possible cause of this condition. (bvsalud.org)
Tissues2
The gingival tissues are constantly subjected to various mechanical, chemical, and bacteria aggressions. (bvsalud.org)
Materials and Methods: A descriptive study that analyzed the gingival tissues of subjects diagnosed with go with orthodontic (test, n = 5) and periodontally healthy individuals (control, n = 5). (bvsalud.org)

Teeth1
Overgrowth of the gingiva can range from slightly covering the surface of teeth or it can even completely cover the surrounding teeth. (wikipedia.org)
