Gingival Fibromatosis is characterised by a large increase in the gingival dimension which extends above the dental crowns, covering them partially or completely. The causes of the disease may have a genetic origin, in which case gingival hyperplasia may occur in isolation or be part of a syndrome, or acquired origin, which comes from specific drugs administered systemically. A form of gingival fibromatosis of idiopathic origin has been described. The therapy involves mainly the surgical removal of the hyperplastic gingival tissue, although in these cases recurrences are frequent.
A 9 years old male patient came to observation at the Clinic of Pediatric Dentistry of the Tor Vergata Polyclinic of Rome. After Primary Gingival Fibromatosis was diagnosed, the therapeutic choice was to wait and postpone gingivectomy at the end of the development phase.
牙龈纤维瘤病的特征是牙龈尺寸大幅增加，延伸至牙冠上方，部分或完全覆盖牙冠。该疾病的病因可能源于遗传，在这种情况下，牙龈增生可能单独出现或作为综合征的一部分，也可能源于后天因素，即来自全身给药的特定药物。已经描述了一种特发性牙龈纤维瘤病。治疗主要包括手术切除增生的牙龈组织，不过在这些病例中复发很常见。
一名9岁男性患者前来罗马托韦尔加塔综合医院儿童牙科诊所就诊。在诊断为原发性牙龈纤维瘤病后，治疗选择是等待并在发育阶段结束时推迟牙龈切除术。
