Gingival fibroma

It is a common physical disease for many people. When it comes to tumors, many people are often very scared. Many people know that tumors have the potential to mutate into cancer. It poses a great threat to people's life safety. Gingival fibroma is a common tumor that occurs in the oral cavity, and it often has the potential to mutate into gingival cancer. What are the specific symptoms of gingival fibroma?

1. Symptoms of gingival fibroma

Gingival fibroma is becoming more and more common in our lives. The harm caused by the disease is extremely serious. Many people are troubled by gingival fibroma, which damages the health of patients. The occurrence of this disease causes the patient's gums to become fibrotic and produce obvious hypertrophy. Patients with severe cases cannot see their teeth. It often occurs after the eruption of teeth and will affect the patient's entire mouth of gums. The patient's gums are normal in color and are particularly firm, with a relatively smooth surface. Some patients have nodules, and the connective tissue of some patients is filled with thick collagen fiber bundles, accompanied by a large number of fibroblasts.

Patients with long-term illness will develop free gingiva and even hyperplasia of attached gingiva, which will reach the membrane-gingival junction. It usually does not affect the patient's alveolar mucosa, and the hyperplastic gingival tissue is dense and hard, and the color is generally normal. A few patients are slightly white, and the range of hyperplasia is limited or extensive, often showing symmetry, with the mandible being lighter than the maxilla, and the symptoms on the lingual and palatal sides being more obvious than the buccal sides. Patients have difficulty in tooth eruption. We must be vigilant about gingival fibroma and pay attention to changes in teeth. We need to focus on treatment after the teeth become ill.

2. Diagnostic examination

The diagnosis can be made based on typical clinical manifestations, age of onset or family history, but the absence of a family history cannot rule out the disease.

3. Treatment options

Gingivoplasty is performed to remove the overgrown gums and reshape the teeth. Or use the internal oblique incision of the flap surgery combined with gingivectomy to preserve the attached eye.

4. Safety Tips

1. Pay attention to oral hygiene.

2. Eat nutritious and easy-to-digest food. Avoid eating highly irritating or overheated foods after oral surgery. You can resume your normal diet after 2-3 weeks.
