ABSTRACT
Epulis fissuratum is a benign tumor like inflammatory hyperplastic growth which occurs on the mucosa along the borders of an ill fitting full or partial removable denture. If ulcerated, it can mimic oral squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment includes surgical removal of excess fibrous tissue and remodelling or reconstructing the denture suitably, ensuring better adaptability to the ridges. This case report describes a 55 year old male patient with characteristic clinical features of denture induced inflammatory hyperplasia.
