Abstract
Background: Fibro-epithelial hyperplasia, a histological variant of fibroma is a proliferative fibrous lesion of the gingival tissue that hinders function and aesthetics. Case Report: This article discusses an unusual case of unilateral fibro-epithelial hyperplasia in an eight year old Indian male child. The reason for the enlargement was local irritation caused by plaque and calculus. The resulting inflammatory gingival tissue was surgically excised following which conventional periodontal therapy was performed which significantly reduced the size of enlargement. Conclusion: Knowledge regarding the clinical presentation of most common oral lesions in children helps in early diagnosis and early management with minimal surgical intervention.
Keywords : Gingiva, Hyperplasia, Plaque, Calculi, Fibroma, Esthetics.
