Gingival enlargement is a heterogeneous and common, slowly progressing enlargement of the gingiva caused by an increase in connective tissue elements. Various local factors such as plaque and systemic factors such as changes in hormonal levels, intake of certain drugs, hereditary, can cause or influence gingival enlargement. The enlargement is classified as “Idiopathic”, when the underlying cause is not known or cannot be identified and are characterized by slow and progressive enlargement of attached gingiva as well as the gingival margin and interdental papilla.
