“…Orthodontic treatment-induced gingival hyperplasia depicts a typical fibrous and reddened appearance of the gingiva, which is seen in inflammatory gingival lesions [25]. Fibrous gingival enlargements associated with fixed orthodontic appliances are determined to be transitory Several studies have stated that upon removal of the wires, there is a complete resolution of the hyperplasia and generally no surgical intervention is required.…”

Background: Gingival enlargement is defined as an abnormal overgrowth of gingival tissues. A case of a 34–year–old female presenting with maxillary chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement associated with a nickel wire allergy is reported here. Replacement of the wire, good oral hygiene therapy and surgical therapy was carried out to provide a good aesthetic outcome. Histopathological evaluation was done of the excised specimen. There is only one similar case reported in literature to the best of our knowledge and ours is the second case. Result: A Histopathological diagnosis of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia was established. No recurrence was reported at the end of 1 year. Conclusion: The patient should be made aware of the allergy at the initial visit and oral hygiene instructions should be reinforced at every visit. The significance of patient compliance during and following therapy as an important factor in the success of treatment.
