| dc.description.abstract | This syndrome results from a chronic exposure to GH (Growth Hormone) leading to the classic clinical features that the diagnosis seems to be easy. The early diagnosis and intervention may prevent irreversible changes associated with chronic overproduction of GH (as well IGF-1) and may also normalise life expectancy. These patients have an increased mortality rate from systemic sequela of hypersomatotrophism in 2-4 times that of the healthy population. The facial scene changes are generally coarsening of features prognathism and diastema (widely spaced teeth). In this case report it is aimed to represent the periodontal surgery findings of a 24 years old male gigantism patient suffering from gingival enlargement in the site of 11 and 12 teeth who applied to Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology. After oral hygiene instruction, initial periodontal treatment was performed and after these the patient was operated. The patients periodic follow ups are still lasting by three months intervals. | en_US |
