Denture Tumor: The Uninvited Distress amongst the Geriatrics - A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to aid as a replacement for the missing teeth. However, the problems come when there is no right fitting as it can turn into a potpourri of problems for the patient. Discomfort in mastication, speech, pain and inflammation are just some of the ill-effects of an ill-fitting denture. Epulis fissuratum refers to reactive tissue response to excessive mechanical pressure imparted by the poor fit of prosthesis. In this article, we discuss one such case of a 63-year-old female.
