Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare disorder characterized by progressive and varying degrees of gingival overgrowth. Oral manifestations vary from minimal to generalized enlargement, and HGF may occur as an isolated disorder or a feature of a syndrome. Unaesthetic appearance and functional impairment due to excessive gingival tissue dictate the need for surgical intervention. This article describes a family with three generations afflicted with a non-syndromic form of HGF with distinctive clinical, histological characteristics. Further, it highlights the need for genetic analysis and appropriate surgical technique to manage gingival enlargement and avoid recurrence.

A single lens reflex camera, a prosumer camera and a smartphone camera were compared for their ability to produce digital intraoral images. Standardized intraoral images produced by the three cameras were evaluated according to sharpness, depth of field, exposure, white balance and image composition. The digital SLR camera was significantly superior to the prosumer camera regarding sharpness and depth of field. The digital SLR camera and the prosumer camera were significantly better than the smartphone camera when considering white balance. There were no significant differences in anterior versus posterior intraoral images for any of the camera systems.
