Management of Epulis Fissuratum Using Cryosurgery - A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the present case report is to present a case showing the treatment of Epulis fissuratum in relation to an ill-fitting denture treated with nitrous oxide cryosurgery. Epulis fissuratum associated with an ill-fitting denture greatly hinders mastication and produces discomfort and pain to the patient. The nitrous oxide cryosurgery can be used effectively in its management, due to its excellent hemorrhage control and post-operative healing. A 64-yearold male reported with Epulis fissuratum in the maxillary anterior vestibular sulcus, which was associated with an ill-fitting denture. Nitrous oxide cryosurgery was used for the treatment of the lesion. During the procedure, nil hemorrhage was achieved, and the post-operative healing was satisfactory. Nitrous oxide cryosurgery, hence, can be used effectively as it has the boon of achieving excellent hemostasis, good healing with minimal post-operative edema and pain, and maintaining an aseptic environment. This technique can be effectively used in the treatment of Epulis fissuratum besides it can also be used in the treatment of other oral soft tissue pathologies achieving a plethora of benefits.
