Non Surgical Management of Inflammatory Gingival Enlargement- A Simple Case Report

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is an local factors accumulation. It may lead to gingival enlargement that interferes normal oral hygiene maintenance and poses great impedance in periodontal health.

METHOD: Scaling and Root planning (SRP) - A very basic and simple procedure, part of initial phase 1 therapy has been performed in a sequential manner.

RESULT: SRP eliminates the local factors conducive environment for periodontal healing.

CONCLUSION: mandatory procedure in the periodontal treatment plan.

KEYWORDS: Periodontitis, gingival enlargement, SRP.
