Case Report: Comprehensive Management of Gingival Epulis

Abstract

The 19-year-old male patient in this case report had a primary complaint of painless swelling in his upper right posterior gingiva. Clinical examination revealed smooth, sessile swellings that resembled cauliflowers. The diagnosis of gingival epulis was acquired via a differential diagnosis that included fibroma, pyogenic granuloma, and peripheral giant cell granuloma. The case got complicated because of the patient's history of dust allergies. A complete treatment plan included root cause inquiry, dental hygiene promotion, and surgical extraction under local anesthetic. Follow-up meetings and a special prescription were part of the postoperative treatment. In order to successfully manage gingival epulis, the case underscores the requirement of rapid diagnosis, treatment, and patient compliance.
