BACKGROUND
Gingival enlargement is a clinical condition that has been widely studied and is directly associated with specific local or systemic conditions. It is very rare that gingival enlargement presents without a clear underlying etiology.
METHODS
A 24-year-old African American female presented with gingival enlargement that manifested postpartum and was most likely related to changes in estrogen/progesterone. The gingival enlargement was treated with non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapies.
RESULTS
There was no evidence of recurrence of the gingival enlargement at 9 years post-treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
The etiology in this case remains unclear and could not be strongly supported by any reports in the literature. Future studies on gingival enlargement may explain such an unusual clinical occurrence.
背景
牙龈增生是一种已被广泛研究的临床病症，与特定的局部或全身状况直接相关。牙龈增生无明确潜在病因的情况非常罕见。
方法
一名24岁的非裔美国女性出现牙龈增生，产后发病，很可能与雌激素/孕激素变化有关。采用非手术和手术牙周治疗方法对牙龈增生进行治疗。
结果
治疗后9年，无牙龈增生复发的迹象。
结论
该病例的病因仍不明确，且无法得到文献中任何报道的有力支持。未来关于牙龈增生的研究可能会解释这种不寻常的临床现象。
