Tumor-like hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue associated with denture flange. Presents as fold (s), usually two, with flange fitting in between. The lesion is usually firm and fibrous but may show erythema and ulceration. Most common on facial aspect in the anterior of either jaw.

What are some other names for papillary hyperplasia?
|
Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia
Palatal Papillomatosis Denture Papillomatosis |
|
|
What pathology presents clinically as:
Papillary hyperplasia is a reactive tissue growth that usually, but not always, develops beneath a denture. It typically appears as a painless, papillomatous, “cobblestone” lesion of hard palate although occasionally it occurs on the edentulous mandibular ridge or in association with epulis fissuratum. The lesion is usually asymptomatic and red due to inflammation. It is a common lesion in denture wearers. |
(Inflammatory) Papillary Hyperplasia
|
|
|
What does the following cause?
|
Soft tissue reaction to ill-fitting denture and probable fungal overgrowth.
Patients generally have poor oral/denture hygiene. One study indicated approximately 20 % of the patients wore their dentures 24 hours per day. |
|
|
What are some treatments for Papillary Hyperplasia?
|
1. Early cases could go away on their own just by removing the denture for a while
2. Antifungal topical or systemic therapy 3. Excision (for advanced cases) |
