AI Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a case of epulis fissuratum caused by a poorly fitting dental prosthesis in a 58-year-old patient, highlighting the importance of treatment due to issues with chewing.
- The treatment involved a surgical procedure that combined conventional excision of the epulis and a free gingival graft.
- This method is noted for its effectiveness in improving the height of the jawbone and increasing the amount of protective gum tissue.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present a case demonstrating the treatment of epulis fissuratum due to a poorly adapted prosthesis using a single surgical procedure involving conventional excision and free gingival graft. We, herein, present a case involving a 58-year-old patient with epulis fissuratum. Treatment of this case was essential due to the masticatory problems. This technique can be effective to deepen the height of the residual alveolar ridge and to increase the amount of keratinized tissue.

The aim of this randomized clinical study was to assess the comparative efficacy of flurbiprofen in tablet and spray formulations for postoperative pain management in oral soft tissue wounds undergoing primary closure while investigating the feasibility of achieving optimal analgesia with reduced dosage and risk. Forty patients who underwent epulis fissuratum and frenulum excision for pre-prosthetic surgery were randomly assigned to receive either tablet or spray forms of flurbiprofen. The lesion dimensions were measured preoperatively, followed by excision and primary closure.

Edentulism can be treated with a removable or fixed prosthesis to improve aesthetics, comfort, and function. The firmness of the residual ridge is crucial for providing sufficient support for soft tissue. However, a flabby ridge lacks adequate tissue support, which poses challenges for clinicians during impression-making and prosthesis fabrication.

Article Synopsis
- The case report outlines the successful treatment of a large Epulis Fissuratum (EF) in a 70-year-old woman using a new prosthetic technique involving tissue conditioning and surgical resection.
- The patient had a growth in the left mandibular area caused by an ill-fitting denture, and the treatment included a two-week tissue conditioning followed by surgical removal of the EF.
- Post-treatment results showed complete healing with no scarring after three months, and maintaining the patient’s dentures during recovery improved her quality of life and assisted in the healing process.
