“…Its nomenclature has been a matter of discussion in different reports because some authors suggest the change to "spongiotic odontogenic gingivitis" or "spongiotic gingivitis with odontogenic metaplasia (SGOM)" because they consider more appropriate terms, highlighting the odontogenic origin of these lesions and the different histopathological characteristics reported [6].…”

“…On the other hand, it is considered as the gingival counterpart of acute spongiotic dermatitis [5]. It is currently described as a patchy or raised lesion, with a papillary, granular, or smooth surface, bright red in color with a velvety appearance; patients do not report any symptoms and may bleed when brushing their teeth [6].…”

Juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia is a benign lesion, first described by Darling and cols. in 2007, there are several etiopathogenic factors proposed. It is characterized by being in the anterior attached gingiva of the maxilla, clinically it is observed as macular or elevated, with a papillary, granular, or smooth surface, bright red in color, and its presentation can be localized or generalized. It is an asymptomatic entity and is not associated with biofilm-induced inflammation. We present two female patients (17 and 10 years old) with relevant and unprecedented medical history respectively, who presented multifocal lesions of bright red color, painless of velvety texture of soft consistency in the maxilla and jaw in which a conservative therapeutic setting and basic periodontal therapy, observation and controls were performed, did not show regression of the lesions after 6 months of observation. It is important for the dentist to recognize this entity and to make the different differential diagnoses, as these could be clinically very coincidental, to carry out an optimal treatment strategy.

“…Tre kliniske varianter er beskrevet. I den ene sees en glatt, rød overflate, den andre har en mikropapillaer eller smånuppete overflate og den tredje har en eksofyttisk papillomatøs overflate (6). LJSGH finnes på festet gingiva, men behøver ikke alltid å omfatte den marginale gingivalrand (1).…”

“…Uansett, foreløpig kalles tilstanden LJSGH, men diagnosene «spongiotic gingival hyperplasia» (4,5), «spongiotic odontogenic gingivitis» og «spongiotic gingivitis with odontogenic metaplasia» har også blitt foreslått (6).…”

Hovedbudskap Lokalisert juvenil spongiotisk gingival hyperplasi (LJSGH) manifesterer seg som et lettblødende, lokalisert rødt felt på den festede gingiva Histologisk sees hyperplastisk spongiotisk flerlaget plateepitel med årerike bindevevspapiller Forbedret hygiene reduserer ikke hyperplasien De fleste LJSGH som er beskrevet i litteraturen er fjernet kirurgisk, noe som muliggjør histopatologisk undersøkelse og diagnose, men som kan medføre gingival retraksjon. Residiv kan forekomme Man tror LJSGH er mer vanlig enn antallet biopsier kan tilsi og at tilstanden i mange tilfeller forsvinner av seg selv
