Article Synopsis
- The text discusses "reactive hyperplastic lesions," which are gingival lesions caused by systemic conditions, irritants, or trauma and often require surgical excision for treatment.
- A case report highlights an 11-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who had a localized inflammatory gingival hyperplasia that resembled a pyogenic granuloma.
- Surprisingly, the treatment was successfully managed through a nonsurgical approach, demonstrating a favorable outcome for the patient.
Introduction: Maxillofacial trauma in children consists of >15% of all facial fractures, which is usually associated with sports injuries and falls while playing. Pediatric mandibular fractures are relatively less frequent when compared to adults, and the reason can be attributed to the child's protected anatomic features and infrequent exposure of children to alcohol-related road accidents. Management principles vary in children, and the main concern is about mandibular growth and the development of dentition.

- Dental trauma from tooth intrusion affects 0.5%-1.9% of permanent teeth, and treatment varies based on root development stages, impacting spontaneous re-eruption success.
- A study of 80 children analyzed the re-eruption outcomes of 125 intruded teeth, categorizing root maturity into five stages and assessing treatment success rates.
- Results showed that younger children and teeth with less mature roots (Cvek stages 1 and 2) had higher re-eruption success, while later stages (4-5) faced more complications, suggesting that advanced cases should be treated with orthodontics or surgery instead of waiting for re-eruption.
