Gingivitis and pregnancy tumor are the two most common
oral manifestations of pregnancy. Pregnancy gingivitis
is characteristically self-limiting and abates spontaneously
after delivery with the decline in hormone production.11
Usually, the severity of pregnancy gingivitis is not associated
with the plaque levels and shows great individual
differences, although its appearance does not differ from
that of common gingivitis.12 However, a more striking oral
lesion known as a pregnancy tumor may occur.13 Lesions
usually begin in the 2nd month of pregnancy and reach a
maximal level during the 8th month.7 Lesions rarely reach
more than 2 cm in size, and they have a tendency to recur if
not completely removed after pregnancy
