Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: Identification, Treatment, Control

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis, or HGF, is characterized by varying degrees of attached gingival hyperplasia. The authors describe a case of generalized severe hereditary gingival fibromatosis involving the maxillary and mandibular arches. Removal of excess gingival tissue by conventional gingivectomy dramatically improved the patient's appearance.
