An Evaluation Of The Treatment Methods Of Denture Granuloma: A 5−Year Longitudinal Study.

Abstract

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of the position of denture granuloma in the oral cavity, to evaluatethe treatment methods of denture granuloma by different conservative prosthetic treatment or by surgicaltreatment, and to find if there is any relation between the length of the lesion and treatment methods.Materials and methods: Seven hundred and six (706) complete denture patients, age range between(40−70) year were treated by construction of complete maxillary and mandibular dentures, 550of them attended for adjustment after placement of the prosthesis. Patients are recalled for post insertioncare for 5 years. One hundred and seventy two (175) of the (550) patients were presented withdenture granuloma. In this study four treatment methods were applied according to the mean length ofthe lesion by using soft−liner and tissue conditioning materials. Results: Showed that 47.73% of denturegranuloma was located at the vestibule in the canine and premolar mandibular region. There was arelation with sequence of treatment with high significance of X 2 analysis. Conclusions: Tissue recoveryplays role in treatment of different an important length of denture granuloma
