Abstract:
Gingival fibromatosis is frequently an isolated
condition of little consequence apart from a cosmetic
problem and occasional associations with uncommon
syndromes. This case report of a 38 year old female
patient describes the gingival enlargement associated
with chronic periodontitis. The enlargement extended
beyond the middle thirds of the clinical crowns of the
teeth. It was associated with generalized mobility,
pocket formation and bone loss. The patient also
complained of bleeding gums and difficulty in speech
and mastication. This is the first case report of gingival
fibromatosis associated with chronic periodontitis.
