Mixed bacterial infection
Stress, poor oral hygiene, poor diet, immune suppression, smoking

Desquamative Gingivitis patient management
Incisional biopsy is necessary for definitive diagnosis
Drugs-Related Gingival Hypeplasia -Degree of clinical enlargement related to patients susceptibility and level or oral hygiene
Abnormal growth of gingival tissues secondary to use of systematic medication
-diffuse involvement
Drugs-Related Gingival Hypeplasia -Degree of clinical enlargement related to
patients susceptibility and level or oral hygiene
First drug associated with drug related gingival hyperplasia
Dilantin (phenytoin)
Then came
Nifedipine
Cyclosporin
Drug-related gingival hyperplasia Tx
Removal of the offending medication may result in cessation and some regession of the gingival enlargement
home plaque control

Gingival Fibromatosis gingivectomy
Ideally delayed until after complete eruption of permanent dentition;
Reduced tendency for recurrence
