Abstract:
Gingival overgrowth is usually associated with systemic conditions or treatment (e.g. blood dyscrasias, anti-epileptic or immunosuppressive agents). A child is presented, who had enlarged gingiva associated with a generalized enamel defect (amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), hypoplastic type) and document the periodontal and restorative management of this case.
