Pendahuluan: gingival enlargement umumnya terjadi akibat inflamasi kronis yang disebabkan oleh faktor lokal, seperti induksi plak pada gingiva dan faktor sistemik seperti  pengaruh hormon dan obat-obatan sistemik tertentu. Hidrosefalus merupakan kondisi yang diakibatkan adanya volume cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) berlebih yang tidak terserap sempurna, dalam jumlah yang sangat tinggi pada ventrikel di otak dan terkadang juga terdapat di ruang subarachnoid, yang menyebabkan terjadinya dilatasi ventrikel secara progresif. Kondisi ini menghasilkan peningkatan tekanan intrakranial dan sering merusak jaringan di sekitarnya. Pasien hidrosefalus menunjukkan pembesaran kepala dan mengalami keterlambatan pertumbuhan. Tujuan penelitian laporan kasus ini adalah menjelaskan keberhasilan terapi fase inisial perawatan periodontal pada gingival enlargement pasien anak dengan hidrosefalus. Laporan kasus: Pasien hidrosefalus laki-laki berusia 12 tahun, mengalami pembesaran gingiva pada rahang atas, sering berdarah pada saat tersentuh sikat gigi ataupun terkena sentuhan lainnya, terjadi kurang lebih sejak dua bulan yang lalu, pasien tidak mengonsumsi obat-obatan secara sistemik. Hasil pemeriksaan klinis dan radiologis dapat ditegakkan diagnosis inflammatory gingival enlargement rahang atas disertai periodontitis kronis gigi 27, dengan diagnosis banding periodontitis kronis. Gingival enlargement merupakan faktor predisposing pembentukan plak. Gingival enlargement pada pasien ini dirawat dengan terapi inisial yaitu Oral hygiene Instruction (OHI), scaling, root planing, dan kontrol. Simpulan: Terapi fase inisial periodontal berupa OHI, scaling, root planing, dan kontrol, berhasil menghilangkan gingival enlargement pada pasien anak dengan hidrosefalus.Kata kunci: Gingival enlargement, hidrosefalus, perawatan inisial periodontal. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Gingival enlargement generally occurs due to chronic inflammation caused by local factors, such as plaque induction on the gingiva and systemic factors such as hormonal influences and certain systemic drugs. Hydrocephalus is a condition that results from the incompletely absorbed excess volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with very high amounts in the ventricles in the brain and sometimes also in the subarachnoid space, leading to progressive dilation of the ventricles. This condition results in increased intracranial pressure and often damages surrounding tissue. Hydrocephalus patients show head enlargement and growth delay. This case report was aimed to describe the success of the initial phase of periodontal therapy in gingival enlargement of paediatric patients with hydrocephalus. Case report: A 12-year-old male hydrocephalus patient, had enlarged maxillary gingiva, often bled when touched by a toothbrush or when exposed to other touches, occurred for about two months prior, and the patient did not take any medication systemically. The clinical and radiological examination results can confirm the diagnosis of inflammatory maxillary gingival enlargement with chronic periodontitis in tooth #27, with a differential diagnosis of chronic periodontitis. Gingival enlargement is a predisposing factor for plaque formation. Gingival enlargement in this patient was treated with initial therapy, namely oral hygiene instruction (OHI), scaling, root planing, and control. Conclusion: The initial periodontal therapy phase in the form of OHI, scaling, root planing, and control, succeeded in eliminating gingival enlargement in paediatric patients with hydrocephalus.Keywords: Gingival enlargement, hydrocephalus, initial periodontal therapy.

Aim: The purpose of this article is to report a case of drug induced gingival enlargement due to oral contraceptives, managed by nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Background: Drug-induced gingival overgrowth remains the most widespread unwanted effect of systemic medication on the periodontal tissues. Hormones are specific regulatory molecules that modulate a host of body functions. Oral contraceptives that contain estrogen and/or progesterone are associated with gingival enlargement. Report: A 32-year-old female presented with a complaint of swelling of the gingiva with spontaneous bleeding in the mandibular anterior region for a period of two years. The health history documented the use of contraceptives for two years, and a clinical examination revealed the existence of poor oral hygiene and enlarged painful gingival tissues that bled when touched. Summary: Females on oral contraceptives can be considered as a “risk group” for periodontal diseases. Not all females on oral contraceptives respond in similar way. Plaque control is the most important procedure in periodontal therapy. Although the initial picture presented the possibility of surgical intervention, the clinical problems were resolved with non-surgical treatment. Another factor contributing to response to therapy is patient compliance. The patient followed home care instructions well and was effective in personal oral hygiene measures. Keywords: Gingival enlargement, Sex hormones, Oral contraceptives.

Background and Objectives: C?reactive protein (CRP) is a type I acute phase reactant. A number of studies have reported elevated gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) CRP levels in periodontitis subjects, which decrease following periodontal therapy. Effect of diode laser as an adjuct to Scaling & Root planing is also well stablished. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment SRP with diode laser, on CRP levels in GCF in patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 subjects with moderate periodontitis based on community periodontal index scores, were included in the study. Periodontal therapy was performed dividing each side of jaw as a group (Split mouth); one side SRP alone & another Diode laser with SRP. GCF was collected from each subject at Baseline (prior to treatment) and 1 month after periodontal therapy. The collected sample was subjected to biochemical analysis to detect CRP levels by using a commercially available highly sensitive kit. Results: The present study demonstrated that the mean CRP values at baseline were found to be 0.11043mg/l in side-I (side treated with SRP alone); 0.11042mg/l in side-II (side treated with SRP & laser) of the patient, which reduced to 0.4148 mg/L in side I and 0.3985mg/L in side II after treatment, which are highly significant according to statistical analysis but the changes between two sides were non- significant statistically. Interpretation and Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that periodontal therapy is able to reduce the GCF C reactive protein level significantly, but there was no statistically significant result in CRP level, between sides treated with SRP & SRP with laser. Key words: Chronic periodontitis, C?reactive protein, gingival crevicular fluid, Scaling and root planing, Diode laser

Alteration in size of gingiva is one of the clinical features of periodontal disease. Increase in size of gingiva, which is termed as gingival enlargement or gingival over growth is a common clinical sign of gingival disease and a matter of great clinical concern. Increase in size alters the physiologic contour of gingiva, creates areas of plaque accumulation, intereferes with regular oral hygiene procedures, and creates aesthetic problems. In severe cases, it interefere with mastication and phonation. Enlargement may involve one or more components of gingiva. Depending on the involvement of components of gingiva and distribution, gingival enlargement can be Localized, genaralized and marginal, papillary, diffuse and discrete. Depending on etiology and pathogenesis, it can be classified as inflammatory enlargement, fibrotic enlargement, combined enlargement, enlargement associated with systemic conditions, neoplastic enlargement and false enlargements.

Increase in size of the gingiva is termed as gingival enlargement. Most common type of gingival enlargement is inflammatory, which his caused due to plaque accumulation and improper oral hygiene maintenance. Orthodontic therapy can often lead to failure to improve oral hygiene. This case describes a recurrent, progressive gingival enlargement of a 19 year old female orthodontic patient in which gingivectomy was performed and repeated, which subsequently failed. Hence modified Widman’s flap was performed with medical supplements. Periodic periodontal check up is required in orthodontic cases to control the gingival inflammation. Patient compliance is also very important in such cases. There should be proper co-operation between the Orthodontist and Periodontist for successful treatment of gingival hyperplasia. Patients with such conditions should be carefully monitored and checked to avoid the recurrence and avoid further progression into chronic periodontitis.

Abstract: In general, periodontal disease is caused by bacterial plaque on the tooth surface.  Bacterial elimination by curettage will reduce periodontal inflammation. This case report was aimed to review the immune response to chronic periodontitis as well as case management with curettage. We reported a 22-year-old female patient came to the Dental and Oral Hospital of University of Sam Ratulangi (Unsrat) with complaints of swollen front gum, frequent gum bleeding, and gum bleeding during tooth brushing. The gum bleeding had occurred since 6 months ago. Tartar cleaning was performed on her three weeks ago. Based on anamnesis, the patient did not suffer from any systemic disease. Intraoral examination revealed that there were reddish gingiva, swelling in region I, II, III, and IV, and probing depth of teeth 21-25 with a mean of 4 mm. Oral Hygiene Index measurement obtained a value of 1.7 (medium category). This case was diagnosed as chronic periodontitis. The treatment consisted of scaling, irrigation with NaCl solution and aquadest, root planing, gingival curettage, and periodontal pack application. At the first control (one week after gingival curettage), the patient did not complain of any pain on the curettage area, periodontal pack was loose. The objective examination still revealed redness, debris, and calculus, OHI-S: 0,8+0,3=1,1 (good category). The prognosis was good since the patient was cooperative, did not have any systemic disease, and had high motivation to maintain oral hygiene.Keywords: curettage, chronic peridontitis  Abstrak: Secara umum penyakit periodontal disebabkan oleh bakteri plak pada permukaan gigi. Eliminasi bakteri dengan kuretase akan menurunkan peradangan periodontal. Laporan kasus ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan respon imun terhadap penyakit periodontitis kronis serta penatalaksanaan kasus dengan kuretase. Kami melaporkan kasus seorang pasien perempuan berusia 22 tahun datang ke Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Pendidikan Universitas Sam Ratulangi (Unsrat) dengan keluhan gusi bagian depan bengkak, gusi sering berdarah, dan perdarahan gusi saat menyikat gigi. Gusi berdarah sejak sekitar 6 bulan lalu dan pasien melakukan pembersihan karang gigi sekitar 3 minggu lalu. Dari hasil anamnesis didapatkan bahwa pasien tidak mempunyai riwayat penyakit sistemik. Pada pemeriksaan intraoral terdapat gingiva berwarna kemerahan dan pembengkakan di region I, II, III, IV, probing depthgigi 21-25 dengan rerata sebesar 4 mm. Hasil pengukuran Oral Hygiene Index(OHI) ialah 1,7 (kategori sedang). Diagnosis klinis kasus ini ialah periodontitis kronis. Tindakan yang dilakukan ialah scaling, irigasi dengan NaCl dan akuades, root planing, kuretase gingiva, dan pemasangan periodontal pek. Kontrol pertama dilakukan satu minggu pasca kuretase gingiva, dan pada pemeriksaan subjektif pasien tidak mengeluhkan rasa nyeri di daerah yang telah dilakukan kuretase gingiva, pek periodontal sudah terbuka malam hari pasca kuretase gingiva. Pemeriksaan objektif gingiva masih kemerahan, terdapat debris dan kalkulus, OHI-S: 0,8+0,3=1,1 (kategori baik). Prognosis baik karena pasien kooperatif, tidak memiliki riwayat penyakit sistemik, dan memiliki motivasi yang tinggi untuk menjaga kebersihan rongga mulut.Kata kunci: kuretase; peridontitis kronis
