Focal Fibrous Hyperplasia: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Interventions in Pediatric Dentistry Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Intra-oral fibrous type soft tissue overgrowth is common in oral cavity. It can be either benign or neoplastic lesions. Nonneoplastic type of reactive lesion seen in the oral cavity is caused by the chronic irritation. Focal fibrous hyperplasia is one such lesion which is seen in the line of occlusion. Focal fibrous hyperplasia is also known as irritational fibroma or traumatic fibroma. Proper oral hygiene, removal of etiologic factors and conservative excision will prevent the focal fibrous hyperplasia and its recurrence. Proper diagnosis, management and follow up should be done in these cases. A large number of soft tissue enlargements can be seen in the oral cavity. Most of these pathological over growth are reactive hyperplastic lesions seen in response to chronic inflammation caused by chronic irritation [1]. Focal fibrous hyperplasia or Irritational fibroma or Traumatic fibroma is one of the most common epithelial benign tumours of the oral cavity [2,3]. These localized progressive, proliferation of the oral mucosa are seen in response to injury or local irritation from dental plaque, calculus, sharp edge of grossly decayed teeth, fractured teeth, trapped food particles, ill-fitting dental/oral appliances, food impaction and iatrogenic factors (extended flanges of the denture and over extended dental restorations)[1,3]. These non-neoplastic lesions seen on the buccal mucosa along the line of occlusion (subjected to masticatory trauma) causes esthetic and functional problems [2,4,5].
