Differential diagnosis of gingival tumors

Gingival tumor is an inflammatory condition that needs to be differentiated from conventional gingivitis and periodontitis. Because gingival tumors of gingival origin are more vascular, they bleed easily. Gingivitis often does not have significant gingival hyperplasia, and gingival tumors are not full-blown, but often individual teeth, often a single tooth, some of which may be attached to 5-6 teeth or 3-4 teeth, and need to be differentiated from medicated gingivitis. Medicated gingivitis is more common, such as the commonly taken drugs like nifedipine antihypertensive and phenytoin sodium, which can stimulate gingival hyperplasia, much like fibrous gingivomas. However, hyperplasia often has a more obvious medical history, such as a history of hypertension or epilepsy, a clear history of medication use, and gingival hyperplasia is universal, all fibrous, very thick and hard, with significant hyperplasia that often covers the entire gum. If the gingival tumor grows large, it should be differentiated from some tumors, at which point it is best to cut pathology to clarify the diagnosis.
