Introduction:
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder that produces a gingival overgrowth and the associated dental displacement, the pathogenesis and the molecular basis of the disease remains unknown. Given that it is a rare disease, it is important that the professionals in the field of oral health know the clinical, histological and genetic characteristics of the disease in order to make a correct diagnosis, a treatment plan and the guidance on the condition of the pathology.
Case presentation:
Report of a family with three generations affected with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, in which the clinical, histopathological and treatment characteristics are described.
Conclusions:
