Key Points about Gingival Hyperplasia
- Definition: Gingival hyperplasia is an abnormal overgrowth of the gum tissue (gingiva), often associated with medication use, systemic conditions, or oral hygiene issues.
- Causes: Common causes include the use of medications like anticonvulsants (phenytoin), calcium channel blockers (nifedipine), and immunosuppressants (cyclosporine). Poor oral hygiene and systemic diseases such as leukaemia can also contribute.
- Symptoms: Symptoms include swollen, thickened, or enlarged gums, which may bleed easily. The overgrowth can lead to discomfort, difficulty with eating or speaking, and an increased risk of periodontal disease.
- Investigations: Diagnosis is clinical, with a detailed medical history to identify underlying causes. Biopsy may be indicated if the cause is unclear or malignancy is suspected.
- Management: Treatment focuses on improving oral hygiene, discontinuing or adjusting causative medications, and surgical interventions like gingivectomy for severe cases. Regular dental care is important to prevent recurrence.
- Complications: If untreated, gingival hyperplasia can lead to periodontal disease, tooth mobility, and cosmetic concerns.
