Gingival overgrowth: Part 2: management strategies
2017
Overview
Key Points
Suggests that gingival overgrowth management requires a structured approach including preventative, non-surgical cause-related therapy and in some cases surgical interventions.
Highlights that failure of cause-related treatment to eliminate aesthetic, functional and speech related complications of gingival overgrowth is likely to indicate surgical intervention.
Demonstrates that surgical techniques may include a gingivectomy or apically repositioned flap.
Suggests that a variety of techniques may be used to perform a gingivectomy including scalpel, electrosurgery and laser methods.
The effective and predictable management of gingival overgrowth requires correct diagnosis and consideration of aetiological factors, as discussed in Part 1 (
BDJ 2017; 222: 85–91
). Initial management should involve cause-related therapy, which may resolve or reduce the lesion. If functional, aesthetic and maintenance complications persist following this phase; further treatment may be required in the form of surgery. This paper discusses management strategies, including management of aetiological factors and surgical techniques.
