OBJECTIVES: The aim was to present the diagnosis and treatment of a case of unilateral idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) in a geriatric patient.
BACKGROUND: IGF is a rare condition characterised by an enlargement of the attached and marginal gingivae with no obvious association to any causative factor. Gingival overgrowth causes inaesthetic changes and clinical symptoms such as speech disturbances, tooth movement, and occlusal problems.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 65-year-old female presented localised enlargement of mandibular gingiva, malpositioning of anterior mandibular teeth, and difficulty in speech and mastication. IGF also causes numerous aesthetic and psychological problems. Treatment consisted of multiple extractions, surgical therapy, and early prosthetic rehabilitation to restore function and appearance and to prevent recurrence.
RESULTS: Excellent aesthetic result and psychological benefit were achieved, and no fibromatosis recurrence was detected after 1 year following surgery.
CONCLUSION: Gingival resection of the tissue excess and early oral rehabilitation with removable dentures have so far greatly improved patient's quality of life.
