Periodontal plastic procedure for the management of the residual gingival defect after excision of an epulis

Abstract: Dentinal hypersensitivity and unesthetic appearance are common findings after excision of an epulis due to exposure of root and underlying bone. The simultaneous placement of subepithelial connective tissue grafting after excision of the lesion seems to be viable surgical option in such cases. Furthermore, this will avoid second surgical procedure for the management of the residual gingival defect.

On the other hand, these flaps require considerable time to heal, while there is also the possibility of improper healing in cases with insufficient surrounding tissue [ 10 ]. The main advantage of the local mucosal flap is its vascularized pedicle.…”
