Abstract

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition characterised by the abnormal growth of gingival tissue, leading to a thickened and fibrous appearance of the gingiva. It can show syndromic and non-syndromic associations. In this case report, the surgical management of HGF associated with the Zimmermann-Laband syndrome was successfully carried out using three different

Methods: conventional gingivectomy, electrocautery and diode laser gingivectomy. These techniques have proven to be effective in treating hereditary gingival fibromatosis, restoring normal gingival appearance and improving overall oral health.
