Generalized or localized diffuse fibrous overgrowth of the gingival tissue,
usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, but some cases are
idiopathic and others produced by drugs. The enlarged gingiva is pink,
firm, and has a leather-like consistency with a minutely pebbled surface
and in severe cases the teeth are almost
completely covered and the enlargement projects into the oral vestibule.
