1/3. Denture hyperplasia with areas simulating oral inverted ductal papilloma.Denture hyperplasia is a reactive lesion of the oral mucosa, usually associated to an ill-fitting denture. This lesion is easily diagnosed and in some cases distinct microscopic variations such as osseous, oncocytic and squamous metaplasia may be found. These metaplastic alterations probably are associated with the lymphocytic infiltrate usually present in denture hyperplasia. We present a case of denture hyperplasia containing salivary gland tissue with ductal alterations mimicking an oral inverted ductal papilloma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Diphenylhydantoinate-induced hyperplasia of the masticatory mucosa in an edentulous epileptic patient.gingival hyperplasia caused by phenytoin sodium is rarely encountered in edentulous persons. A case of generalized palatal hyperplasia is reported in which retained roots and teeth were suspected of having perpetuated a preextraction lesion, whereas a subsequently placed complete denture initiated a midpalatal hyperplasia. The lesion remained in spite of nonuse of the denture for several years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia: supraperiosteal excision by the blade-loop technique.Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) is a benign, irreversible, persistent, and usually painless lesion of the oral mucosa that is the result of epithelial proliferation. Many surgical methods of treatment have proven to be not totally satisfactory in case of surgery, completeness of tissue removal, healing time, or patient comfort in the postoperative period. A relatively simple and effective procedure is proposed for the supraperiosteal excision of this lesion from the palate, using a razor blade cutting element and handle, called the blade-loop knife, or the Paquette knife handle. The blade-loop technique minimizes trauma and results in a short and comfortable postoperative period.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
