Massive Denture Induced Hyperplastic Lesion in Maxilla- A Case Report

Abstract: Denture Induced Hyperplasia or Epulis fissuratum is a tumor-like reactive lesion of oral mucosa because of chronic irritation caused by ill-fitting dentures. It is mostly presented in female denture wearers with a predilection to maxilla. These lesions can be of varying sizes ranging from few centimeters to extensive involving the whole arch.

“…However it has limitations in cases with extensive mucosal lesions where there is significant fibrosis and surgical excision of hyperplastic tissue is required in such cases. 15,16 In our reported Case 1, the size of lesion was extensive and hence it was surgically excised. These results are similar to a study conducted by Khan WU et al 15 in which extensive hyperplastic lesion in the maxillary arch was managed surgically.…”

“…15,16 In our reported Case 1, the size of lesion was extensive and hence it was surgically excised. These results are similar to a study conducted by Khan WU et al 15 in which extensive hyperplastic lesion in the maxillary arch was managed surgically. Surgical techniques include conventional surgical supra-periosteal and advanced techniques eg: cold blade, electro-surgery, lasers or cryosurgery.…”
