Even there are several etiologies for gingival overgrowth; usually each etiology has its own overgrowth characteristics. For example, while genetically induced gingival overgrowth show firm, normal coloured (pink), non-inflamed gingival tissues, gingival overgrowth due to blood dyscrasias are edematous, soft, tender to touch and show tendency to bleed.
