Idiopathic Gingival Fibrous Hyperplasia in a Paediatric Patient Managed with Scalpel and Diode Laser: A Case Report
Abstract: Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a rare benign condition characterized by progressive gingival enlargement with unclear etiology, often presenting during childhood. This case report describes the clinical management of a 7-year-old female diagnosed with severe idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. The aim of this report is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a combined scalpel and diode laser gingivectomy approach in a paediatric patient. Surgical treatment was performed using a combined scalpel and diode laser gingivectomy, and histopathological examination confirmed fibrous gingival hyperplasia. Postoperative healing was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed during one year of follow-up. The combined surgical approach demonstrated effective tissue removal, improved hemostasis, and favorable functional and esthetic outcomes. These findings support the potential clinical utility of hybrid surgical techniques in paediatric gingival fibromatosis management.
