Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is an uncommon gingival disease of attached gingiva, which is manifested as localized or generalized form. The HGF inheritance is transmitted through both autosomal dominant and recessive modes. Here, we are discussing a rare case report of an 8-year-old child with gingival fibromatosis in mixed dentition, which caused damage to his speech, mastication, and esthetics and led to significant change in his facial profile.The patient noticed that the gingival enlargement was simultaneous with deciduous dentition eruption and gradually covered entire dentition. Gingival enlargement covered all teeth anteriorly and posteriorly and only occlusal surfaces were visible. The enlarged tissue was resected by the external bevel gingivectomy under general anesthesia arch wise.The postoperative healing was satisfactory, uneventful, and there was significant change in patient’s esthetics. Patient has been kept on regular recall visits.How to cite this article: Gandhi M, Tandon S, Sharma M, Vijay A. Nonsyndromic Gingival Fibromatosis: A Rare Case Report.

Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint disease, with an incidence of 30% of the population older than 60 years. The current belief is that the load is distributed along the mechanical axis, which is generally medial to the centre of the knee. Osteotomies to change the mechanical axis has been long described as a treatment of medial compartment OA, and proximal fibular osteotomy being the recent addition. The authors aimed to evaluate the change in radiological parameters of the knee alignment and asses its statistical significance. It is a hospital based prospective pre and post interventional study done at New Hospital Medical College Kota. The Sample size was calculated to be 34 subjects at α-error 0.05 and study power 80%. Radiological parameters were assessed in terms of Femorotibial angle, Mechanical axis deviation and Lateral joint space under standard magnification. Radiological parameters depicting the change in knee alignment were found to be statistically significant. Also, it correlates well with that described in other established studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
