Chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement also called as chronic hyperplastic gingivitis is an enlargement of the gingiva as a result of chronic inflammation due to local or systemic factors. Most important local factor appears to be the dental plaque and calculus, which in the presence of trauma, ill-fitting prosthetic appliances or presence of other irritating factors are the predisposing factors in the etiology of the lesion. It has potential to cause esthetic, functional and masticatory disturbances. Here we report a case of 35-year-old female patient with gingival enlargement in the mandibular right posterior area associated with the flat panel displays. The lesions were surgically excised in Toto, and no recurrence was noted in recall visits.
