Abstract : Originally called gingival hyperplasia, gingival enlargement is a typical feature of many disorders, including inflammation, drug-induced conditions, systemic ailments, pregnancy, diseases like leukemia, and treatment-induced situations like gingival enlargement caused by orthodontic therapy. Of them, the primary cause of inflammatory-induced gingival expansion is the deposition of etiological substances, specifically calculus and plaque. Present case report is on a 24 years old male patient who has a history of cheilitis glandularis, and reported to the Department of Periodontology for gingival enlargement.

Keywords : Cheilitis Glanduaris, Gingival Hyperplasia, Gingivectomy, Diode Laser.
