Gingivectomy with Periodontal Flap
More extensive surgical approach combining gingivectomy with periodontal flap surgery allows access to deeper fibromatosis tissue and underlying bone when present. This technique provides better visualization and more predictable long-term results for moderate to severe cases.
Genetic Counseling and Family Screening
Given the hereditary nature of fibromatosis gingival type 2, genetic counseling helps families understand inheritance patterns and recurrence risks. Family members should be evaluated for undiagnosed disease manifestation.
Additional treatment options
CO2 Laser Ablation
Carbon dioxide laser treatment offers precise ablation of fibrotic gingival tissue with excellent hemostasis and promotes rapid healing with minimal postoperative pain. Multiple sessions may be required for extensive overgrowth.
procedureAnti-fibrotic Topical Therapy
Topical application of anti-fibrotic agents such as tranilast or interferon-gamma may help reduce fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in gingival tissue. These are typically used as adjuncts to surgical therapy.
