Abstract
Gingival enlargement also known as gingival overgrowth is defined as increase in the size of gingiva. Gingival enlargement can be caused by a wide variety of etiologies. Gingival enlargement may result from acute or chronic inflammatory changes; chronic changes are much more common. Chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement (CIGE) is caused by prolonged exposure to dental plaque. Plaque-induced inflammation can be the sole cause of gingival enlargement or can be the secondary cause. Gingival enlargement can be a functional and esthetic disparity so in all patients therapy to control gingival enlargement is essential. This report aims to highlight the importance of patient motivation and patient compliance in treatment planning of CIGE.
