[Gingival fibromatosis. A clinical, therapeutic and histopathological study of a new case].

The aetiopathogenesis, histology and clinical treatment of a rare case of familial gingival fibromatosis are analysed with particular emphasis on the relationship between the histological picture and the pathogenesis of the condition. In tackling the problem of treatment, the paper recommends the use of gingivectomy with an internal rather than the classic external chamfer.
