Abstract:
Gingival enlargement or hypertrophy is one of the common clinical symptoms in patients with periodontitis. Plaque stimulation, hormones and drug use could be the promoting factors for the occurrence of gingival enlargements. This paper reviews the literature on the pathogenesis, treatment methods and the effect of plaque and inflammation control in the treatment of various types of gingival hypertrophy. The therapeutic effect of controlling plaque and inflammation on various types of gingival hypertrophy is also discussed and the treatment scheme of gingival hypertrophy is proposed, which may provide reference for clinical work.
