There are genetic disorders associated with gingival enlargement. In our part I, we reviewed the eponyms linked to Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis (HGF) [1]. In this part II of this review, we are going to shed some light on eponyms linked to groups of genetic disorders which may feature gingival enlargement (Table I) [2–15]. These groups include lysosomal storage disorders, vascular disorders and syndromes characterized by the presence of characteristic dental abnormalities.
