Surgical and nonsurgical treatment of papillary hyperplasia: A case report

Abstract

Dentures with dental plaque predispose recurrent hyperplasia on the palatal mucosa. Surgical procedures for the treatment of inflammatory papillary hyperplasia involve postsurgical discomfort and morbidity. This repot describes clinical and histologic aspects of a patient with severe akantolitic inflammatory papillary hyperplasia. The palatal mucosa was treated with a surgical bur with a low-speed handpiece. A new removable denture was performed and adapted. A follow-up of 4 years showed staility of health at palatal mucosa. Patient referred low discomfort and morbidity when using bur technique. Control of removable denture was critical for long-term healing and soft tissue stability.

Steroid‐induced inflammatory papillary hyperplasia?—A new entity in a non‐denture wearing patient

“…Hard palate is the only site involved by IPH in almost all cases 1 ; however, it may occasionally extend to the mucosa of the residual ridges 2 . IPH is more prevalent in males and usually in around 79% of the cases located in anterior region of maxilla 4 . In general, IPH is caused by the irritation of removable or complete partial dentures of maxillary arches.…”

“… 2 IPH is more prevalent in males and usually in around 79% of the cases located in anterior region of maxilla. 4 In general, IPH is caused by the irritation of removable or complete partial dentures of maxillary arches. To the best of our knowledge, in only three of the reported cases it has also been found in dentulous patients with no history of any denture.…”
