A patient who has been wearing denture for quite long time reported with flabby tissue behind the ridge. What will be the most likely diagnosis?
Trauma due to denture
Vitamin B2 deﬁciency
Epulis ﬁssuratum
Neumann’s tumor
The epulis fissuratum is a tumorlike hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue that develops in association with the flange of an ill-fitting complete or partial denture. Although, the simple term 'epulis' sometimes is used synonymously for epulis fissuratum, epulis is actually a generic term that can be applied to any tumor of the gingiva or alveolar mucosa.
