Abstract

A seven-year-old girl presented with complaints of swollen gums and unerupted teeth. Upon clinical examination, she was found to have moderate to severe diffuse gingival enlargement of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. After ruling out drug and medical history and critically reviewing similar conditions, the diagnosis was made based on clinical and histopathological findings. The hyperplastic tissue was removed by gingivectomy.
