An assessment of mast cells and myofibroblasts in denture‐induced fibrous hyperplasia

Abstract: These results are the first to show that mast cells and myofibroblasts can be detected in DIFH, indicating important roles of these cells in the pathogenesis of this lesion.

“…However, this cell population was also seen in areas of fibrosis even in the absence of inflammation. This finding has also been reported in other studies on FH lesions [30][31][32]. The presence of MCs in areas of fibrosis may be attributed to the fact that their granules are rich in proteases, including tryptase [4].…”

“…There is consensus among studies regarding the distribution of MCs around blood vessels [1,11,15] and this was confirmed in the present study. Mast cells were frequently observed in areas of ulceration and inflammation, as reported in previous studies [11,15] including reactive lesions [31][32][33]. However, this cell population was also seen in areas of fibrosis even in the absence of inflammation.…”

“…Even though the oral mucosa heals with minimal fibrosis, the formation of a scar cannot be ruled out [15]. Further evidence exists for denture-induced fibrous hyperplasia [16] and dental materials can also cause fibrosis [17]. Clinical scenarios like these have prompted research seeking to uncover the molecular link between cell damage, tissue regeneration, and scar-like repair.…”

“…Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) is one of the most common injuries in clinical routines [10]. Its occurrence is linked to chronic trauma of low intensity in patients with complete dentures [11] and is a lesion with no potential for malignant transformation. However, it does require surgical removal, histopathological diagnostic confirmation and correct clinical management.…”
