Epulis is a benign hyperplasia of the oral soft tissues. Surgical excision always extends to the periosteum and includes scaling of adjacent teeth to remove any possible irritants. The esthetics of the soft tissues may be compromised, however. This article studies three cases in which an immediate laterally positioned flap (LRF) was used to repair mucogingival defects after epulis biopsies. After 24 months, the color and shape of the surgical areas were healthy and stable, nearly complete root coverage was evident, and no lesions reoccurred. For repairing gingival defects after biopsy, LRF appears to be minimally traumatic while promoting esthetic outcomes.
牙龈瘤是口腔软组织的良性增生。手术切除范围通常要延伸至骨膜，并包括对相邻牙齿进行洁治以去除任何可能的刺激物。然而，软组织的美观可能会受到影响。本文研究了三例在牙龈瘤活检后使用即刻侧向移位瓣（LRF）修复黏膜牙龈缺损的病例。24个月后，手术区域的颜色和形状健康稳定，牙根几乎完全覆盖，且无病变复发。对于活检后牙龈缺损的修复，LRF似乎创伤极小，同时能促进美观效果。
