ABSTRACT
Gingival fibromatosis is a progressive gingival enlargement caused by an over growth of the collagenous element of the gingival fibrous connective tissue. Pharmacologically induced, hereditary (familial) and idiopathic forms of gingival fibromatosis are recognized. This paper reports a case of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis in a 13 year old boy involving the right maxillary and mandibular arches who had also been treated 3 years back for a gingival enlargement involving the left maxillary and mandibular arches. The enlargement was quite sever and caused significant esthetic and functional problems on both occasions.
