SUASSUNA, Thalles Moreira et al. Extensive Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis: A Case Report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. []. 2016, 16, 4, pp. 40-44. ISSN 1808-5210.

The Gingival Fibromatosis (GF) is described as a rare oral condition, clinically manifested by a slow, progressive, diffuse, and benign growth of gingival tissues. This condition can manifest itself in isolation, in combination with other systemic diseases or as a component of syndromes. GF may have an identifiable etiology or be idiopathic. Depending on the severity of each case, GF may result in significant functional and aesthetic disorders, mainly related to the difficulty of cleaning, speech and swallowing due to formation of large gingival tissue masses. This paper proposes a review of the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of gingival fibromatosis and reports a severe case of this condition that was surgically treated.
