Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia between surgery and tissue conditioning: A case report.

Abstract

<h4>Introduction and importance</h4>Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia also called epulis fissuratum, often caused by an ill-fitting prosthesis and typically treated surgically, can be managed entirely conservatively with proper prosthetic adjustments.<h4>Case presentation</h4>A female edentulous patient with an epulis fissuratum brought on by a too lengthy and ill-fitting removable full denture is described in this case study. Soft-conditioner material was used to treat the oral lesion, with the modified existing prosthesis serving as support.<h4>Clinical discussion</h4>Early conditioning tissue care of the epulis fissuratum, in conjunction with proper prosthesis rehabilitation and appropriate oral hygiene, produces positive clinical outcomes and prevents the need for surgery.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The effectiveness of this conservative therapy highlights how different surgical and prosthetic specialties can complement each other, advocating for a systematic tissue conditioning step before proceeding with a surgical approach.
