title: [Significance of hypertrophy, and of hyperplasia with gingival-periodontal localization].
abstract: The authors have attempted a study of gingival hypertrophy and hyperplasia as a particular manifestation involving the marginal parodontium, manifested clinically as a proliferative process that could be determined by a variety of local or general etiopathogenic factors. An analysis is made of hypertrophic and hyperplastic changes from the histopathologic and the etiologic viewpoints, of the gingivo-parodontal tissues. A review is also presented of several complete classifications. Clinical and histopathologic aspects are further discussed, of the various forms of gingivo-parodontal hyperplasias. Results obtained in the treatment of 160 forms of hyperplasia found in 1500 patients that were investigated are also discussed. The study concludes on the importance of an early diagnosis of various forms of gingivo-parodontal hyperplasias. This is of particular importance for the treatment of those patients where the therapy is directed against the causative agent, but that should also include the application of antiinflammatory therapies.
