Background. Oral fibromas are benign, asymptomatic, smooth surfaced, firm structured tumoral lesions that originate from gingival connective tissue or periodontal ligament. Histologically, they are nodular masses characterized by a dense connective tissue, surrounded by stratified squamous epithelium.Case Report. This case report includes the clinical, radiographical, and histological findings and periodontal treatment of a 38-year-old female patient having painless swelling on the gingiva. Intraoral examination revealed a fibrotic, sessile, smooth surfaced gingival overgrowth interdentally between the teeth #13 and #14. Radiographical findings were normal. Initial periodontal treatment (IPT) was applied including oral hygiene instructions, scaling, and root planing. Following IPT, the lesion (0.7 × 0.6 × 0.4 cm) was excised and examined histopathologically. Subsequently, flap operation was performed to have an access to alveolar bone. Surgical site was reconstructed with free gingival graft obtained from hard palate. Hematoxylin-eosin stained sections revealed a nodular mass composed by dense collagen fibers in lamina propria covered by a stratified squamous epithelium, which were consistent with fibroma. Gingival healing was uneventful and without any recurrence during the 12-month follow-up.Conclusions. In order to achieve optimal functional and aesthetical outcomes, free gingival graft can be used for the reconstruction of the wound site after the excision of the fibroma.

Relevance. Iatrogenic factors are among the significant causes of chronic peri-implantitis, the incidence of which reaches 16-28% according to various data. This article is a clinical case report which describes an approach to the treatment of iatrogenic peri-implantitis associated with a non-absorbable buried suture. Patient Sh., born in 1960, physically healthy, complained of gum bleeding in the region of implant 3.6.Diagnosis. Сhronic peri-implantitis in region 3.6. The treatment was carried out in two stages. During the first (revision) stage, the buried suture of a non-absorbable 2-0 monofilament thread with uncut ends and a loose titanium pin were removed; during the second (reconstructive) stage, a free gingival graft (FGG) was used.Results. The inflammation in the area of implant 3.6 resolved, the soft tissue condition was stable in the immediate and delayed postoperative period. In 3 months after the beginning of the treatment, the cervical bone defect repair was confirmed by the control X-ray.Conclusion. The use of non-absorbable suture material for buried sutures in dental implantation and oral reconstructive surgical interventions is classified as iatrogenesis and is defined as a “medical treatment error”. In the present clinical case, it became the cause of the development of an implant site-specific inflammatory destructive complication. The reduction of chronic peri-implantitis incidence, taking into account its prevalence and problematic nature, requires further research and optimization of the protocols of dental implant treatment.

ABSTRACT Gingival recession is defined as displacement of the soft tissue margin apical to the cementoenamel junction. The esthetic demand together with reduction of root sensitivity and management of root caries or cervical abrasion are the main indications for root coverage. Available literature indicates that free gingival graft (FGG) is a reliable procedure for root coverage with a success rate ranging from 76 to 95.5%. In this case report, a 32-year-old female patient having Miller's Class III gingival recession in relation to 31 was treated using free gingival graft with satisfactory postoperative results.
