Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder resulting in gingival overgrowth that can be found in both dental arches. As a result of the gingival overgrowth and associated dental displacement, affected patients occasionally present with increased occlusal vertical dimension and/or inadequate lip closure. Depending on the disorder's severity, these patients can be challenging to treat. This clinical report describes a comprehensive surgical and prosthetic approach to the rehabilitation of a middle-aged patient with severe manifestations of hereditary gingival fibromatosis and severe generalized chronic periodontitis.
