Denture-induced fibrous hyperplasia (DIFH) is a persistent lesion caused by low-intensity chronic injury of the tissue in contact with an ill-fitting, over-extended denture. This fibrous connective tissue lesion commonly occurs in oral mucosa in patients showing important alveolar ridge atrophy. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for DIFH. This article describes a successful laser surgery to remove a DIFH on a lower alveolar ridge of a patient wearing an ill-fitting completely removable denture. The use of a diode laser may result in less surgical time, less bleeding during surgery, more vestibular depth, better re-epithelialization of the wound, and no need for suturing.
义齿性纤维增生症（DIFH）是由与不合适、过度伸展的义齿接触的组织的低强度慢性损伤引起的持续性病变。这种纤维结缔组织病变常见于牙槽嵴严重萎缩的患者的口腔黏膜中。手术切除是 DIFH 的首选治疗方法。本文描述了一例使用二极管激光成功治疗一位佩戴不合适全口义齿的患者的下颌牙槽嵴 DIFH。使用二极管激光可能会减少手术时间、术中出血、增加前庭深度、更好地实现伤口上皮化，并且无需缝合。
