Abstract: | The gingival overgrowth is a common finding in the clinical practice with a diverse etiology. There are no treatment guidelines defined for this oral lesions. These can provoke discomfort to the patient and often, can alter the function of the stomatologic system. This article presents a case report of a bilateral gingival overgrowth in a 68 years old woman wearing a fixed upper-arch implant-supported prosthesis placed five years ago. The clinical exam after removing the prosthesis showed an intense accumulation of plaque around the intermediate abutments associated to a mucosal enlargement with suppuration on touching the buccal area of the implant in position 1.5 and a probing depth of 8mm. The 2.4 and 2.5 implants also showed vestibular mucosal enlargement and a probing depth of 6mm. No changes were observed in the peri-implant bone level measured in the periapical radiographs. An incisional biopsy was made on second quadrant and sent for the histopathological study. The definitive diagnosis was inflammatory fibro-epithelial hyperplasia. No recurrence has been reported after a 6 month follow-up. |
