Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF), also known as idiopathic gingival hyperplasia, is a rare condition of gingival overgrowth.[1] HGF is characterized as a benign, slowly progressive, nonhemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of keratinized gingiva. It can cover teeth in various degrees, and can lead to aesthetic disfigurement.[2] Fibrous enlargement is most common in areas of maxillary and mandibular tissues of both arches in the mouth.[1] Phenotype and genotype frequency of HGF is 1:175,000 where males and females are equally affected but the cause is not entirely known.[2][3] It mainly exists as an isolated abnormality but can also be associated with a multi-system syndrome.[1]
