PURPOSE STATEMENT
Clinical Features
1. Develops within a day or two after the insertion of a new denture.
2. Due to over-extension of the flanges, sequestration or spicules of
bone under the denture or roughened or “high” spot on the inner
surface of the denture.
3. These are small, painful, irregularly shaped lesions covered by a
delicate grey necrotic membrane and surrounded by an inflammatory
halo.
Management
• Causes:-
• Thin or overextended periphery (denture base material does
not provide enough support for the cheek)
• Loss of tone of cheek musculature in old patients
• Insufficient inter-arch clearance between distal part of
denture.
• Inadequate horizontal overjet in molar region .
(posterior edge-to-edge occlusion)
Treatment
• Build out thin areas, or extend the short periphery
• Trim maxillary denture buccal to tuberosity and/or from over
retromolar pad of mandibular denture
•Re-set teeth in correct relationship
• Recontour and polish buccal surface of mandibular posterior
teeth to create horizontal overjet
INFLAMMATORY HYPERPLASIA
With some of these lesions, (eg, pregnancy epulis and the central
giant cell tumor associated with hyperparathyroidism), the levels
of circulating hormones also undoubtedly play a role.
This lesion may extend the full length of one side of the
denture. Many such hyperplastic growths will become
less edematous and inflamed following the removal of the
associated chronic irritant, but they rarely resolve
entirely.
-Female predilection.
-Another lesion called fibro epithelial polyp or
leaf like denture fibroma occurs on hard
palate beneath maxillary denture.
-It is a flattened pink mass attached to palate
by narrow stalk.
-It can easily lifted up with a probe
demonstrate its pedunculated nature.
-Edge of lesion is serrated and resembles a
leaf.
-If minor salivary glands are included they
show chronic sialadenitis.
-Unusual appearing products known as
osseous and chondromatous metaplasia is a
reactive phenomenon caused by chronic
irritation by the ill fitting denture.
MANAGEMENT
1. Surgical removal.
2. Ill fitting denture should be remade or
relined.
• The frequency of occurrence of epulis
fissuratum far exceeds that of any other
exophytic lesion at the periphery of dentures.
• However the possibility of malignancy must be
considered in each case: squamous and
verrucous carcinomas, minor salivary gland
tumours, metastatic tumours, osteosarcoma,
and down reaching maxillary sinus
malignancies.
PALATAL PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA
ETIOLOGY
TREATMENT:-
• surgically close the opening and allow complete
healing using a healing plate and followed by fabrication
of new complete denture.
Precautions to be taken by the
Dentist to avoid these problems
• There should be adequate relief .
• There should be no overextension of the
lingual flange into the lateral throat form.
• The vertical dimension must be accurate.
• There shouldn’t be any deflective occlusal
contacts.
• The denture borders should not be
overextended.
• There should be sufficient horizontal overlap of
posterior teeth.
• Note that the borders are rounded and
smooth, and the palate is highly polished and
the proper thickness.
