traumatic irritation fibroma
what type of hyperplasia is traumatic irritation fibroma
inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia
are traumatic irritation fibromas a neoplasm
no it is a reactive lesion rather than a true neoplasm
what is a giant cell fibroma
- distinct from irritation fibroma
- may not be associated with an identifiable source of chronic irritation and occurs at younger age
what does a giant cell fibroma look like clinically and what is it commonly mistaken for
- often has a papillary surface
- clincially mistaken for papilloma

poor oral hygiene combined with ill-fitting prosthesis
what is the treatment for inflammatory papillary hyperplasia
- surgical excision and correct prosthesis
describe medication associated gingival enlargement
- enlargement begins in the interdental papillae and forms pseudopockets
- non-specific clinical appearance
severity of medication associated gingival enlargement is related to:
patient susceptibility and local factors
what medications are associated with gingival elargement and what percentage of each patients that take it will get it
- anticonvulsants: dilantin (phenytoin) - 50%
- calcium channel blockers: procardia (nifedipine)- 25%
- immunosuppressants: sandimmune (cyclosporin) - 25%
what are the treatment options for drug related gingival enlargement
- control local factors such as anti plaque agents with chlorhexidine
- drug substitution
- drug therapy- folic acid, metronidazole, azithromycin
- surgical excision- gingivectomy
what is a pyogenic granuloma
a reactive vascular lesion - essentially a capillary hemangioma
what is the predilection for pyogenic granuloma and why
females because of vascular effects of hormones
why is the name pyogenic granuloma a misnomer
it is unrelated to infection and it is not pyogenic and is not a true granuloma
what type of growth is seen with pyogenic granuloma
rapid
