Gingival overgrowth is a common feature of gingival disease. The accepted current terminology for this condition is gingival enlargement or gingival over growth. These are strictly clinical descriptive terms and avoid the erroneous pathologic implication of terms used in the past, such as "hypertrophy gingivitis" or "gingival hyperplasia". Gingiva and associated soft tissues of the periodontium may beenlarged in response to various interactions between the host and environment. Gingival enlargement usually represents an inflammatory response to bacterial plaque but it increases susceptibility to systemic factors or condition, so that consideration should be kept in mind during the course of patient evaluation.

Periodontal diseases are a major public health burden and are common around the world. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance periodontal disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and management has gained popularity since its introduction. A thorough summary of the potential advantages, difficulties, and future directions of artificial intelligence's applications in periodontics is what this article seeks to deliver. The role of AI in the identification, risk assessment, treatment planning, and patient care of periodontal disease was investigated through the analysis of fifteen pertinent research. According to the findings, artificial intelligence holds promise for improving periodontics' precision, effectiveness, and individualized service delivery.
