Abstract:
:In this study, we investigated gingival enlargement in patients with acromegaly as a component of the disease. Eleven patients (5 males, 6 females) were evaluated. Diagnosis was confirmed with typical clinical features and laboratory. Oral examinations were carried out by the same periodontist. During the examination, plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depths, and gingival enlargement values were evaluated. Duration of the disease was between 0.2 and 13 yr. Seven patients had pituitary macroadenomas and four had microadenomas during their initial diagnosis. Only one patient was newly diagnosed. The other patients had previously undergone surgery. Gingival enlargement was found in eight patients. Seven patients with gingival enlargement also had prognathism, and one patient had prognathism associated with gingival enlargement. These findings demonstrate that acromegaly that results in overgrowth in various organs should be considered one of the causes of gingival enlargement.
