Gingival enlargement may be a result of multifactorial etiology which includes local factors such as calculus, food lodgement, overhanging restorations, and overextended dentures as well as systemic conditions such as hormonal disturbances and blood dyscrasias. Acquired immune deficiency is a manifestation of immune disorder caused by a retrovirus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The association of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or HIV with oral and periodontal lesions is highly significant. Seropositive patients usually present with periodontal diseases and atypical periodontal lesions. These clinical findings may prove to be a link for probing patients' systemic health. This case report describes one such case of a patient, unaware of HIV infection with localized gingival overgrowth, wherein detailed probing and investigation led to the diagnosis of underlying systemic condition as acquired immunodeficiency. Subsequently, antiretroviral therapy was started, and nonsurgical periodontal therapy was performed to resolve the gingival overgrowth.
牙龈增生可能是多因素病因导致的结果,这些因素包括局部因素,如牙结石、食物嵌塞、悬突修复体和过度伸展的义齿,以及全身状况,如激素紊乱和血液系统疾病。获得性免疫缺陷是由逆转录病毒人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)引起的免疫紊乱的一种表现。获得性免疫缺陷综合征或HIV与口腔和牙周病变的关联非常显著。血清学阳性患者通常表现为牙周疾病和非典型牙周病变。这些临床发现可能成为探究患者全身健康状况的一个线索。本病例报告描述了这样一个病例,一名未意识到感染HIV的患者出现局限性牙龈过度生长,经过详细检查和调查后诊断出潜在的全身状况为获得性免疫缺陷。随后,开始了抗逆转录病毒治疗,并进行了非手术牙周治疗以解决牙龈过度生长的问题。
