Purpose: The goal of the presente article is to help the clinican to compare the clinical outcome of gingivectomy with laser versus conventional surgery. Case report: A 15 yrs old male patient reported with generalized hereditary gingival enlargement with clinical aspect of gingiva covering one third of dental crowns. No exposure to drugs like phenytoin, cyclosporine or calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine. There was no other medical history such as bone deformities or mentally retardation. Family history reveals hereditary gingival enlargement. On examination of patient “A” siblings also showed similar characteristic gingival features. Based on these facts differential diagnosis was made between “drug induced gingival enlargement” and “hereditary gingival fibromatosis” and confirmed with histopathological findings. Conclusions: Patients were subjected to 2 modalities of treatment in a split mouth; laser and conventional gingivectomy. Patient was more comfortable (was measured on a scale from 1 to 10 using visual analog scale) during and after treatment and healing was also faster and recurrence was delayed in laser technique.

Introduction:  Generalized gingival enlargement is characterized by massive and exuberant gingival over-growth that poses social, aesthetic, phonetic and functional problems for the patient. Therefore, it requires meticulous management.Objective:  To describe the surgical management of generalized gingival enlargement by electrosurgical excision of patients presenting to a tertiary care centre.Study Design:  Case series.Materials and Methods:  The study was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, de’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore, from January 2010 to December 2012. A total of sixteen patients were operated by using electrosurgical approach under general anaesthesia for surgical excision of generalized gingival enlargement.Results:  All of the sixteen patients, 11 males and 5 females, showed excellent healing postoperativelywithout any recurrent gingival overgrowth.Discussion:  To the best of our knowledge, the current study presents the largest case series of generalized gingival enlargement. Most of these cases were with massive disease due to lack of information of the study population about their disease, delay in referral by the general dental practitioners, painless and innocent nature of the problem. Early referral of such patients to tertiary care centers can prevent the patients from social and psychological embarrassment.Conclusion:  Electrosurgical excision is an excellent surgical technique for management of generalized gingival enlargement. Moreover, cross comparative studies are required to establish some diagnostic and therapeutic standards for such patients.

Proper Diagnosis

An increase in size of gingiva is a common clinical condition termed as gingival overgrowth. The definite aetiology is unknown. It is classified on the basis of aetiologic factors and pathologic changes. Both localised and generalised overgrowth are encountered commonly and patients are aesthetically, socially, psychologically and functionally disturbed until they revert back to the original contour. Localised gingival enlargement frequently is inflammatory and can also be associated with systemic diseases/condition (hormonal, nutritional, allergic, nonspecific conditioned) or neoplasic and sometimes false enlargement. DIGO is a well documented side effect with the use of anticonvulsant, immunosuppressant, and calcium channel blockers. Total 3% to 84.5% of subjects taking these drugs seem to have significant enlargement. Localised overgrowth are managed by proper diagnosis followed by controlling inflammation and other causative factors before surgical excision. DIGO is managed by drug replacement and surgical excision if required after nonsurgical treatment. Gingivoplasty of gingival margin is necessary to create self-cleansing and aesthetic architecture.
