Abstract

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder, also known as congenital familial fibromatosis or idiopathic fibromatosis. It may show as an isolated disease entity and is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) may present as severe generalized and progressive gingival overgrowth involving attached gingiva, marginal gingiva, and interdental papilla. The conservative treatment includes removal of dental plaque and eliminating gingival inflammation. Surgically, it can be removed by gingivectomy.
