Hereditary gingival fibromatosis: a case report / Fibromatosis gingival hereditaria: informe de caso

Introduction: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare disorder with a genetic component that may appear during tooth replacement. This condition can cause functional and aesthetic problems such as malocclusions, diastemas, pain when chewing, dental caries, periodontal disease, delayed eruption, among others. Objective: To report the multidisciplinary treatment provided to a patient with hereditary gingival fibromatosis. Case Report: This report describes the treatment carried out in a thirteen-year-old male patient presenting generalized increase in gingival volume associated with functional and aesthetic compromise and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. After diagnosis, a multidisciplinary intervention was proposed, involving periodontal and pediatric dentistry procedures, which improved the quality of life of the patient both functionally and aesthetically. Conclusion: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis not only affects the dental eruption process, but also causes aesthetic and emotional alterations in the patient. The periodontal procedures significantly improved the appearance, function, and the psychological state of the patient.

Introducción: La fibromatosis gingival hereditaria es una altera-ción poco común, asociada a un componente genético que en ocasiones se hace evidente en el recambio dentario. Este padecimiento puede generar problemas funcionales y estéticos como maloclusiones, diastemas, dolor al masticar, caries, enfermedad periodontal, erupción tardía, entre otros. Objetivo: Reportar el caso clínico con manejo interdisciplinario en un paciente con fibromatosis gingival hereditaria. Reporte de Caso: Se expone el tratamiento realizado en un paciente de trece años, sexo masculino, con aumento de volumen gingival generalizado con compromiso funcional y estético, conjugado con retraso en la erupción de dientes permanentes. Tras diagnóstico se plantea la intervención multidisciplinaria, integrando áreas como periodoncia y odontopediatría; los procedimientos ejecutados permitieron mejorar la calidad de vida desde el punto de vista funcional y estético. Conclusión: La fibromatosis gingival hereditaria no solo desencadena alteración en proceso eruptivo dental, sino también alteraciones estéticas y emocionales en el paciente que la padece. Los procedimientos perio-dontales realizados permitieron de forma categórica la mejora de la estética, función y estado psicológico del paciente.

Fibromatosis Gingival Idiopática Unilateral: Reporte de un Caso con Cuatro Años de Seguimiento / Unilateral Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis: Case Report With Four-Year Follow-Up

La fibromatosis gingival es una enfermedad rara que se caracteriza por aumento del tejido gingival por proliferación fibrosa, es de crecimiento lento, cubriendo en algunos casos la totalidad de los dientes comprometidos. Esta nosología comprende un grupo heterogéneo de patologías de causas no determinadas. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un caso clínico de una paciente de 13 años con FGI Unilateral, su diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento durante cuatro años. Presenta al examen clínico intraoral, agrandamiento anormal de su encía tanto superior como inferior, afectando solamente los hemiarcos del sector izquierdo. A la palpación es indolora y de consistencia fibrosa. No se encontraron factores locales que justifiquen dicho aumento. El examen físico elimina la posibilidad de otras patologías asociadas, no refiriendo recibir medicaciones inmunosupresivas, antiepilépticos o antihipertensivas. No tiene antecedentes familiares. La paciente fue sometida a extirpación quirúrgica del tejido hiperplasiado y el material obtenido enviado a estudio histopatológico. Después del tratamiento quirúrgico y una buena higiene oral con exámenes de control efectuados durante cuatro años no se observó recurrencia. A pesar de ser una patología poco frecuente el odontólogo debe conocer la fisiopatología y comprender que el manejo de ésta enfermedad es a través de un equipo multidisciplinario. El diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento oportuno logran la recuperación psicológica, estética y funcional de los pacientes.

Gingival fibromatosis is a rare disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the gingiva caused by an increase in submucosal connective tissue. The enlargement may potentially cover the exposed tooth surfaces. Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) is a heterogeneous group of disorders with no definite cause. The aim of this study is to present a 13-year-old female patient with unusual clinical forms of Unilateral FGI with a complete analysis of the features of the clinical diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for four years. Intraoral examination revealed severe gingival overgrowth involving both the upper arch and the lower arch, affecting on the left side. The right side of the mouth was unaffected. There was no significant pain. The lesion was diffuse, firm and fibrotic. Her medical and family history was also non-contributory. The patient was not receiving any antiepileptic, antihypertensive, or immunosuppressive medications that could contribute to the gingival enlargement. Histopathological examination showed hyperparakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, presence of a thickened acanthotic epithelium and focal hyperplasia. Underlying connective tissue stroma was collagenous with numerous lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. Unusual findings include the presence of calcified particles. Bevel gingivectomy was taken to remove gingival overgrowth. This case is thus a rare and atypical presentation of gingival fibromatosis. The patient was advised to maintain good oral hygiene to minimize the effect of inflammation on fibroblasts. In our case, even after four years of follow-up, no recurrence of gingival overgrowth was observed. Unilateral IGF is a relatively rare condition with poorly understood etiopathogenesis and recurrence rates. The cases should be treated with a multidisciplinary management. Treatment appreciably improved the patient's psychological, aesthetics and masticatory competence.

Fibromatosis gingival hereditaria una inusual enfermedad genética: reporte de caso / Hereditary gingival fibromatosis a rare genetic disease: case report

Asociada a factores genéticos, que se caracterizada por aumento en el tamaño del tejido gingival, el cual genera dificultades emocionales, estéticas y funcionales. En el presente artículo se reporta un caso de una paciente femenina de 13 años con aumento generalizado en el volumen de la encía, que cubre casi todos los dientes, la historia familiar fue muy importante para el diagnóstico de fibromatosis gingival hereditaria, ya que la madre y un hermano presentaron la misma manifestación.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare disorder, associated with genetic factors, characterized by various degrees of attached gingival overgrowth, which generates emotional, aesthetic and functional disorders. This article reports the case of a 13-year-old female who presented a generalized severe gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches and covering almost the whole dentition. The family history was very important for the diagnosis of hereditary gingival fibromatosis, as the mother and a brother had the same disorder.

Extensive gingival enlargement in siblings. A case report

Gingival fibromatosis is characterised by varying degrees of fibrotic gingival overgrowth that can be caused by a variety of aetiological factors. Hereditary gingival fibromatosis [HGF] is a rare genetic disorder, characterised by a slowly progressive, benign enlargement of keratinised gingiva. The condition may be found in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, the former being more common. It usually develops as an isolated disorder but can be one feature of a multisystem syndrome. Accordingly, HGF has been divided into two forms: non-syndromic and syndromic. The gingival enlargement can be localised or generalised, but usually involves both arches. The authors describe a case of non-syndromic generalised severe HGF, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches in two brothers. This report focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and control of the disease. The pattern of inheritance and histopathologic characteristics are also emphasised

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis diagnosis and treatment

Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis [HGF] also referred to as idiopathic gingival hyperplasia is a rare type of slow growing gingival enlargement with great clinical and genetic heterogeneity inherited usually as Mendelian autosomal dominant fashion. Occurring as an isolated trait [HGF] and/or as a component of a syndrome, the affected gingival is characterized by firms, asymptomatic, non-hemorrhagic enlarged [hyperplastic] tissue with characteristic pale pink colour, covering most of the anatomic crown, involving usually all the quadrants. There is no definitive treatment present but post pubertal surgical intervention and good oral hygiene maintenance can improve the compromised esthetics and function of the patient. This paper presents a case report of a 15 year old male suffering from hereditary gingival fibromatosis with a positive family history. Periodontal management including gingivectomy [external bevel] was being undertaken after biopsy

Fibroma traumático: dos presentaciones clínicas una misma entidad / Traumatic fibroma: two clinical presentations same entity

El Fibroma Traumático (FT) se considera la patología reactiva de tejido conjuntivo más frecuente de la cavidad bucal, cuya etiología es el trauma crónico. Es más frecuente en la segunda década de la vida, se presenta sin predilección por grupo étnico o género y aparece en áreas frecuentemente traumatizadas como carrillos, bordes laterales de lengua y labio inferior. Se presentan dos casos, ambos pacientes presentados en este trabajo fueron de sexo femenino, la primera de ellas de 59 años de edad y portadora de prótesis total superior, que mostró al examen clínico una lesión particular donde la presión mecánica de la prótesis ocasionó un crecimiento tumoral de 1cm de diámetro, color rosa pálido, lisa y brillante que se desprende del paladar duro a través de un pedículo. Esta lesión al examen clínico podría pasar desapercibida por la forma como se apoya sobre la mucosa del paladar. La otra paciente mostraba la lesión típica que caracteriza al FT, patología tumoral, sésil, en labio superior lado izquierdo, antre la comisura y la línea media del paciente, aproximadamente 6mm de diámetro, color rojizo y erosionada en la superficie, asociada a fricción crónica posterior a un trauma. La conducta a seguir para ambos casos fue extirpación quirúrgica y estudio histopatológico, obteniéndose como diagnóstico definitivo FT. La importancia de estos casos se basa en que ambas patologías aunque tienen el mismo diagnóstico histopatológico poseen presentaciones clínicas completamente distintas y una de ellas inusual, esto probablemente originado por el agente causal

Traumatic fibrosis (TF) is considered the reactive connective tissue disease more common in the oral cavity, the etiology is chronic trauma. It is more common in the second decade of life, is presented without preference for gender or ethnic group and appears frequently traumatized areas such as cheeks, lateral edges of tongue and lower lip. Both cases was in female patients, the first is 59 years old and superior total prosthesis, clinical examination showed a particular injury where the mechanical pressure of the prosthesis caused a tumor growth completely flattened 1cm in diameter, pale pink, smooth and bright that it appears the hard palate through a pedicle. This injury to the clinical examination may go unnoticed by the way is based on the mucosa of the palate. The other patient showed the typical lesion characteristic of the FT, tumor pathology, sessile on the upper lip, approximately 6mm of diameter, reddish and eroded on the surface friction associated with chronic post-trauma. The conduct to be followed in both cases was surgical excision and histopathology, obtained as a definitive diagnosis: TF. The importance of these cases is based on both disorders but have the same histopathological diagnosis have completely different clinical presentations and one of them is unusual, this probably originated by the causal agent

Gingival fibromatosis with hemi-osseous hyperplasia of jaws, focal maxillary viral papillomatosis of gingiva, fissured tongue and congenitally missing anterior teeth: A case report and surgical management of a new syndrome.

Gingival fibromatosis is characterized by fibrotic enlargement of the gingiva that can occur as inherited or sporadic form. Inherited form can be an isolated trait or as a component of a syndrome. This article reports a 35 year old male patient affected by gingival fibromatosis associated with hemiosseous hyperplasia of mandible, maxilla, and zygoma on the right side, viral papillomatosis of maxillary anterior gingiva, fissured tongue and congenitally missing anterior teeth. The patient was subjected to phase I and phase II periodontal therapy. There was no evidence of recurrence of the enlargement after one year but the papillomatosis recurred. Gingival fibromatosis has been reported to be associated with various other abnormalities but not with those described in our case. This observation raises the possibility that the coexistence of these entities in our case may represent a new syndrome.
