ABSTRACT

Localized juvenile spongiosa gingivitis is a subtype of gingival hyperplasia, characterized by localized and painless sessile inflammation, bright red color, its size ranges from 2-10 mm of diameter. Histologically the spongiotic lesion is observed which is covered by nonkeratinized epithelium with elongated ridges, pronounced edema of the spiny layer, exocytosis of neutrophils, dilated capillaries, as well as, mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate are visible in the lamina propria. Mainly affects female and its occurs in the attached gingival to the upper and lower anterior sextant. The cause is unknown and the microscopic differential diagnosis is with prepubertal gingivitis, benign migratory glossitis and oral hyperplastic candidiasis. The treatment of choice has not been determined, however, some studies show that surgical excision with scaling and root planning of adjacent teeth could be the treatment of choice. Objective: Literature review: localized juvenile spongiotic gingivitis.
