Orthodontic treatment, while beneficial for correcting dental alignment and improving oral health, can sometimes lead to complications such as inflammatory gingival enlargement (IGE). This condition, characterised by the overgrowth of gingival tissues, can cause discomfort and aesthetic concerns and impede oral hygiene, potentially leading to further periodontal issues. Electrosurgery has emerged as an effective treatment modality for managing this condition. This report examines the use of electrosurgery in three cases of orthodontic treatment-induced IGE, highlighting its efficacy, advantages and outcomes.

The aetiology of gingival enlargement (GE) is highly distinct. Plaque-induced gingival inflammation can be the sole reason for gingival enlargement. Poor dental hygiene, irritation from anatomical variations, and ineffective restorative and orthodontic appliances are all factors that encourage the formation and retention of plaque. In the given case report, a case of gingival enlargement associated with an orthodontic appliance of a 23-year-old female patient referred from the Department of Orthodontics was reported to the Department of Periodontics. Under local anaesthesia, the excess gingival tissue is removed using a scalpel by gingivectomy and gingivoplasty procedures. The gingivectomy and gingivoplasty procedures using a scalpel gave the best results in the orthodontic treatment associated with gingival enlargement. After achieving hemostasis, the periopack (Coe-pack) was placed to assist healing by protecting the tissue. The above case report can appreciate the gingival tissue covering almost half of the crown, causing plaque retention and presenting the patient with aesthetic concerns. After the surgical procedure, a proper gingival contour eliminates suprabony pockets and provides pleasant esthetics. This case report demonstrates that eliminating the suprabony pockets by gingivectomy and gingivoplasty leads to a physiologic gingival contour and eliminates plaque retention. The conventional scalpel gingivectomy procedure is an effective form of treatment when indicated.

The side effects of an antipsychotic drug, such as fibrous overgrowth and gingival inflammation, or a combination of both, can lead to gingival enlargement. Causes for developing plaque include neglected cleanliness, architectural differences disturbing contact, faulty restorative buildup, cavities, and orthodontic appliances. Hence, in actual clinical scenarios, finding out the exact reason with precision is the key to appropriate therapeutic intervention. The presented clinical case is about a 29-year-old female patient who was referred to the Department of Periodontics due to a swollen gums complaint. The drug administration was first done, with the second step constituting surgical reduction of excessive gingival tissue under local anesthesia using gingivectomy. After the surgery, an application of GC Coe-Pack (GC America Inc., USA) was made that acted as a dressing for the tissue and promoted healing. Follow-up was done to assess the patient’s gingival and periodontal conditions as requested through recall. In the post-procedure circumstances following that, the ideal gingival height was reached. All the results were healthy in the given case presentation with no remaining supra bony pockets, achieving natural-looking gingival architecture, thus enhancing esthetics and decreasing plaque accumulation. The interventions of surgical gingivectomy can be deemed effective in this case.
