Abstract
This case report describes the formation of an unusual unaesthetic gingival enlargement during a five year post operative period subsequent to a subepithelial connective tissue graft placed facial to teeth #4 and #6. Histological assessment of the enlarged tissue indicated that it consisted of viable bone and marrow. The exostosis was reduced with rotary instruments and acceptable soft tissue aesthetics were created using a carbon dioxide laser for gingivoplasty. Possible causes for this unusual enlargement are discussed.
