Denture Induced Gingival Hyperplasia-A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Gingival overgrowth is a common clinical finding and most of them represent a reactive hyperplasia caused by various etiological factors, plaque being a major etiology. Gingival enlargement can be focal or diffuse in nature. Focal gingival enlargement is seen to be associated with benign proliferation. A poorly fitted prosthesis can give rise to a plethora of problems like pain, discomfort in mastication and speech and epulis fissuratum. Epulis fissuratum refers to reactive tissue response to excessive mechanical pressure imparted by the poor fit of prosthesis. In this article, we discuss a case of epulis fissuratum in a 58-year-old male patient. This case report demonstrates the excision of the overgrowth using electrocautery.
