4
Q
Gingival Fibromatosis
Cause
Age
Interefere with
Dist
Location
Tx
A
- Collagenous overgrowth of gingival tissue
- Slowly and progressive
- Autosomal dominant or idiopathic
- Begins before age 20
- Can interfere with lip closure, tooth eruption
- Generaized or localized
- Maxilla and palatal more frequent
- Gingivectomy and rigorous oral hygeine
5
Q
Reactive Soft tissue enlargements
Result of
A
- Reactive is result of injury
- Sometimes hx of injury
- Sometimes symptomatic or painful
- Relatively rapid growth (hrs-wks)
- May flctuate in size
- Usually regress
- May be assoc with tender lymphadenopathy & systemc manifestations
- Reactive towards
- Infections, chemical trauma, allergy, meds
6
Q
Parulis/Sinus Tract
Cause
App
Tx
A
- Aka gum boil, periodontal abcess
- Gingival abcess secondary to periapical pathosis
- Focus of pus in the gingiva
- White-yellow & assoc with pain
- Treat underlying issue (periodontal pocket or nonvital tooth) achieves resolution
7
Q
Irritation Fibroma ( Fibrous Hyperplasia)
Cause
App
Dist
Tx
A
- Reactive hyperplasia of fibrous CT
- Caused by chronic irritation or trauma
- Well cicrmscribed
- Smooth surfaced, sessile, pink nodule
- Firm
- May be ulcerated or inflamed
- Dist
- Usually on buccal mucosa or bite line
- Tx
- surgical excision
8
Q
Epulis Fissuratum
Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia
Cause
App
Dist
A
- Tumor like hyperplasia of fibrous CT
- Develops in association of ill fitting denture
- App
- Rolls of tissue associated with a denture flange
- Slowly growing
- Firm or compressible
- May be ulcerated or inflamed
- Maxilla or mandible especially anterior portions
9
Q
Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia
Cause
App
A
- Represents both fibrous and epithelial hyperplasia
- Poorly fitting dentures or wearing them all day
- App
- Numerous red, edematous papillary projections
- Hard palate
10
Q
Drug-related Gingival Hyperplasia
Cause
A
-
Abnormal growth of tissue due to meds that affect collagen remodeling and degradation
- Anticonvulsants: Phenytoin (young)
- Ca Channel blockers: Nifedipine middle aged
- Cycloporine broad age range
- Degree of enlargement related to susceptibility and hygiene
- Rigorous hygiene can prevent/limit
