Localization of the epulis in the area of the implants. Clinical case

Abstract

Abstract Epulis is a benign neoplasm that is quite common in the practice of a dentist. It is a soft tissue formation on the peduncle that connects it to the gum. Sources of growth of epulis are most often the periodontium of the tooth, therefore, the neoplasm is very rarely found on the edentulous jaw or in the area of implants. Treatment of epulis is to eliminate the etiological factor, and excision of the formation together with the periosteum. In our practice, we first encountered an epulis that appeared in the area of previously installed implants. The excised mass was sent for pathological and histological examination, according to the results of which the conclusion was given: angiomatous epulis with a giant cell area with an expression.
