P-01 AIM Treatment of Idiopathic Gingival Overgrowth with Gingivectomy Surgery in a Young Patient Berkin Kılıç 1, Yağmur Ünlü 1, Halil Erhan Fıratlı 1 1 İstanbul University, Institute of Health Sciences,Department of Periodontology, İstanbul-Turkiye Gingival overgrowth can occur due to various reasons such as local factors (poor oral hygiene), genetic and systemic factors (hormonal changes, certain medications), leading to changes in the gum tissue (blisters, red spots) and/or pain. If left untreated, it can progress to gum recession and periodontitis in later stages, potentially resulting in tooth loss. CASE A healthy 11-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with complaints of gum pain, bleeding, and swelling. Based on all clinical and radiological findings, a diagnosis of idiopathic gingival overgrowth was established. Oral hygiene education was provided and initial periodontal treatment was performed followed by gingivectomy surgery one month later. The patient was followed up monthly for 6 months. During this period, it was observed that the clinical improvement was satisfactory, complaints were alleviated and there was no recurrence of gingival overgrowth. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSSION In this case with an initial false pocket depth of ≥6 mm due to gingival overgrowth, it was observed that after initial periodontal treatment followed by gingivectomy surgery at the 2nd month, the pockets were eliminated and normal physiological gum contours were restored. Measurements taken at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th months showed no recurrence of pocket formation, indicating successful maintenance of oral hygiene and improvement in the patient's quality of life. The 6-month outcome of surgical treatment of idiopathic gingival overgrowth with periodontal gingivectomy demonstrated successful restoration of gum tissue health. In this case, this treatment modality proved to be successful in maintaining oral hygiene and preventing recurrence of gingival overgrowth in young patients.
