Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, also called idiopathic gingival overgrowth (IGO), is a rare benign condition that occurs either in isolation or as a part of a syndrome. The overgrowth, if excess, impedes oral functions such as mastication and speech and causes cosmetic disfigurement. Diagnosis and treatment becomes challenging if the overgrowth is massive and accompanies other associated pathologies. This case reports concurrent occurrence of three pathologies, i.e., IGO, aggressive periodontitis, and candidal infection in a 20-year-old healthy male patient. The surgical procedure performed involved internal bevel gingivectomy combined with open-flap surgery. Seven-year follow-up revealed no recurrence of overgrowth and stable periodontal condition.

Prevalence of orofacial and head pain: an umbrella review of systematic reviews.
J Oral Facial Pain Headache

Laboratory of Orofacial NeuroBiology (EA 7543), Faculty of Dentistry, Paris-Cité University, 92120 Paris, France.
Head pain (HP) and orofacial pain (OFP) are the most prevalent types of pain worldwide, encompassing cranial, oral and facial pain. The aim of this umbrella review was to answer the following questions: "What is the overall prevalence of HP/OFP and the different prevalences of HP/OFP conditions in adults and children?". We searched for studies investigating the prevalence of HP/OFP in four major databases and two databases from the grey literature, based on the following PECOS inclusion criteria: (P)opulation: Adults and children; (E)xposure: Orofacial or head pain conditions such as (1) dental, periodontal and gingival, (2) temporomandibular disorders (TMD), (3) neuropathic conditions, (4) headaches, and (5) idiopathic pain conditions; (C)omparison: None; (O)utcome: Prevalence; (S)tudies: Systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses.

Idiopathic gingival papillokeratosis with crypt formation (IGPC) is a new and a very rare benign entity, clinically characterized by white-yellowish plaques with papillary architecture located in the upper labial gingiva of adolescent patients. The condition generally exhibits a bilateral symmetrical distribution and is asymptomatic. We report two new cases, one with a classic presentation and the other in an older individual.

Amidst worldwide reports of adverse oral lesions subsequent to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination, the current systematic review planned to determine the prevalence of adverse oral events in adult individuals (≥18 years) after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, emphasizing upon the type and dose of vaccine, time of onset, and underlying pathophysiology. The registered protocol (PROSPERO CRD42023421307), conforming with PRISMA guidelines, included an all-inclusive literature search through online databases, consisting of Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Lilacs, Livivo, and PROSPERO, completed on 2 May 2023, followed by assessment of risk of bias by Joana Briggs Institute Evaluation Checklist. Due to the paucity of literature, case reports and case series were included.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the mechanisms behind idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) by analyzing human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) from affected patients.
- RNA sequencing revealed that in IGF, there is a decrease in transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) and an increase in biglycan (BGN) compared to those with periodontitis.
- The research found that inhibiting specific protein (SP)1 reduces BGN expression, suggesting that SP1 promotes BGN elevation and consequently leads to TGM2 suppression in IGF.
Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis: Report of a Rare Case.

The progressive overgrowth of the gingiva is the hallmark of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF). Excess gingival tissue can obscure the crown of a tooth, resulting in spaces between teeth, displacement, retention of primary or permanent teeth, and difficulties with feeding, speaking, and appearance. The diagnosis and management of inherited gingival fibromatosis are the focus of this case report.
