Epulis fissuratum is a pathological condition caused by an ill-fitting denture. The mucogingival hyperplasia may be considered as a reactive condition of the oral mucosa to excessive mechanical pressure on the mucosa. Epulis fissuratum excision is a procedure usually done for prosthodontic reasons. The treatment of this benign entity is essential mainly for masticatory reasons. The use of diode laser for epulis removal without infiltrated anesthesia in a conscious geriatric patient is currently under investigation.
裂隙性牙龈瘤是一种由义齿不合适引起的病理状况。龈黏膜增生可被视为口腔黏膜对黏膜上过度机械压力的一种反应性状况。裂隙性牙龈瘤切除术是一种通常出于修复原因而进行的手术。对这种良性病变进行治疗主要是出于咀嚼方面的原因，这至关重要。目前正在研究在一位清醒的老年患者中使用二极管激光在不进行浸润麻醉的情况下切除牙龈瘤。
