Description

Gingival fibromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the overgrowth of gum tissue, which can lead to aesthetic concerns and difficulties in oral hygiene. It may be associated with genetic syndromes or occur as an isolated condition, often requiring surgical intervention for management.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to gingival fibromatosis using terms like 'hiperplasia gingival' or 'engrosamiento de las encías', which are colloquial and not medically precise. It is important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term to avoid confusion in clinical discussions.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Fibromatosis, Gingival after presenting with significant gum overgrowth.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con Fibromatosis Gingival tras presentar un crecimiento significativo de las encías.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'fibromatosis' with 'fibrosis'; mispronouncing 'gingival' as 'gingival'; using informal terms instead of the canonical term.
