Introduction: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare disorder with a genetic component that may appear during tooth replacement. This condition can cause functional and aesthetic pro-blems such as malocclusions, diastemas, pain when chewing, dental caries, periodontal disease, delayed eruption, among others. Objective: To report the multidisciplinary treatment provided to a patient with hereditary gingival fibromatosis. Case Report: This report describes the treatment carried out in a thirteen-year-old male patient presenting generalized increase in gingival volume associated with functional and aesthetic compromise and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. After diagnosis, a multidisciplinary intervention was proposed, involving perio-dontal and pediatric dentistry procedures, which improved the quality of life of the patient both functionally and aesthetically. Conclusion: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis not only affects the dental eruption process, but also causes aesthetic and emotional alterations in the patient. The periodontal procedures significantly im-proved the appearance, function, and the psychological state of the patient.
