- Abstract
- Generalized gingival enlargement, also known as gingival hyperplasia or hypertrophy, is defined as an abnormal diffuse overgrowth of gingival tissues. There are several causes of generalized gingival enlargement and they can be grouped into four categories: hereditary gingival fibromatosis, medication-induced, inflammatory, and systemic or neoplastic causes of gingival enlargement. This paper reviews the clinical features, differential diagnosis and significance of generalized gingival enlargements.
