Gingival enlargement is quite a common pathology in pediatric patients and may be inflammatory, noninflammatory, or a combination of both. Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, although rare, is a slowly progressive benign enlargement that affects the marginal gingiva, attached gingival, and interdental papilla. The fibromatosis may potentially cover the exposed tooth surfaces, causing esthetic and functional problems. The treatment of gingival fibromatosis is essential because it causes difficulties with mastication, speech problems, mispositioning of teeth, esthetic effects, and psychological difficulties for the patient. Traditional gingivectomy procedures have been a challenge for dentists who confront issues of patient cooperation and discomfort. In the last decade, laser procedures in oral cavity had shown many optimum effects in both hard and soft tissue procedures. Laser soft-tissue surgery has been shown to be well accepted by children. The following case report describes a laser-assisted gingivectomy procedure performed on a 13-year-old female.
牙龈增生在儿科患者中是一种相当常见的病理状况，可能是炎性的、非炎性的，或两者兼而有之。特发性牙龈纤维瘤病虽然罕见，但却是一种缓慢进展的良性增生，会影响边缘龈、附着龈和龈乳头。这种纤维瘤病可能会潜在地覆盖暴露的牙面，导致美观和功能问题。牙龈纤维瘤病的治疗至关重要，因为它会给患者带来咀嚼困难、言语问题、牙齿错位、美观影响以及心理困扰。传统的牙龈切除术对于面临患者配合问题和不适的牙医来说一直是一项挑战。在过去十年中，口腔激光手术在软硬组织手术中都显示出了许多最佳效果。激光软组织手术已被证明很受儿童欢迎。以下病例报告描述了对一名13岁女性实施的激光辅助牙龈切除术。
