Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia between surgery and tissue conditioning: A case report
Abstract
Introduction and importance 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. Case presentation 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. Clinical discussion 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. Conclusion 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.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
