    A common oral symptom seen in this disease is GINGIVAL ENLARGEMENT

    A patient presenting gingival enlargement and showing the following symptoms like Symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, fevers, shortness of breath, bloody sputum, joint pains, and sinus inflammation (sinusitis). Nasal ulcerations and even bloody nasal discharge can occur. Other areas of the body that can also become inflamed in patients with Wegener’s granulomatosis include the eyes, the nerves (neuropathy), the middle ear (otitis media), and the skin resulting in skin nodules or ulcers

    Hence just a gingivectomy will not eradicate the enlargement one needs to diagnose the cause of the enlargement as this disease and then deal with the enlargement or else the enlargement will recurr
