Context:

 Epulis gravidarum in pregnancy is a condition usually affecting pregnant women between the 3rd and 9th months of pregnancy.

 Considering the lack of precise statistics about the prevalence of this condition in the Mazandaran province, we set out to conduct a study for examining the frequency of epulis gravidarum among pregnant women in Sari and Ghaemshahr cities in 2020.

Setting and Design: 

In this cross‑sectional investigation, 1800 pregnant women were studied by stratified random sampling method in healthcare centers in Sari and Ghaemshahr in 2020.

 In total, 30 centers were monitored during 2 working months and from each center, about 60 pregnant women were selected. A checklist was designed to record the data, including demographic characteristics as well as the oral health status of the participants. Then, intraoral examination was performed to detect the epulis gravidarum.

Statistical Analysis Used:

 Data were analyzed through descriptive (mean, standard deviation, and frequency) Chi‑square, and Cramer’s V correlation coefficient.

 The prevalence of epulis gravidarum was 4.38% (79 pregnant women). Furthermore, 11.27% of the total participants in the study were women in their 1st to 3rd months of pregnancy; 47.55% in 4th to 6th months, and 41.18% in 7th to 9th months of pregnancy. Based on multivariate logistics analysis, a significant relationship was observed between the use of cigarette smoking (P < 0.001), low age (P = 0.002), and don’t use of floss (P < 0.001) and presence of epulis gravidarum.

 The results indicated that oral and dental health care is very important during pregnancy, and if women observed any atypical lesions during pregnancy in their mouth, they should consult a dentist.

Epulis Fissuratum (EF) is a hyperplasia of mucosal fibrosis and its main cause is the use of improper prosthesis. Treatment of these lesions is necessary because any change in the natural tissue of the oral mucosa causes the accumulation of opportunistic microflora, such as Candida albicans. Therefore, this study aimed to report an interesting observation about the EF response to drug therapy.

A 62-year-old female patient referred to the Dental Clinic of Semnan University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) while suffering from a long-term mouth ulcer.Diagnosis of EF was suggested based on the clinical appearance as well as the association of the prosthesis with the lesion. Therefore, gargling a suspension of 100,000 units of nystatin four times a day was also prescribed, and oral hygiene by removing the prosthesis was recommended, in unnecessary times and at night.Subsequently, in follow-up sessions, a gradual improvement was observed unitl the disease was completely eliminated .

It seems,  Regarding the relationship between EF and the accumulation of microorganisms, a cours of drug treatment might be notable effect on reduction size of EF.

Epulis fissuratum is one of the important denture-related mucosal lesions that occurs around the borders of an ill-fitting denture. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cases of epulis fissuratum admitted in the department of oral medicine, Kerman Dental School in relation to the demographic, denture-related and clinical findings.
Medical files of all patients referred to the Department of Oral Medicine and Oral Pathology, Kerman Dental School, Iran from 1999 to 2014 were reviewed and 58 cases with the diagnosis of epulis fissuratum with complete and acceptable data were illustrated.
The frequency of epulis fissuratum was 2.9 % of the total number of pathologies. The disorder had been occurred predominantly in the sixth decade of life (41.4%) and more often among females (79.3%). The frequency of epulis fissuratum was higher for a length of denture use of more than 10 years. Patients reported pain associated with the lesion (70.6%).
The knowledge of some facts, especially the quality of dentures and level of denture hygiene in patients with epulis fissuratum supports the importance of the prevention of the lesion, hence the dentists should instruct their patients who have worn dentures how to prevent this lesion.

The congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare tumor, which is apparent at birth. The histogenesis is still uncertain, but several theories, including origin from epithelial, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, pericytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and nerve‑related cells have been proposed. This case report describes management of a 2‑day‑old baby girl having a large, round, soft, single 3 × 4 cm, pedunculated swelling, on the lower anterior ridge, which was causing difficulty in feeding. Clinical diagnosis of congenital epulis (CE) was made and lesion was excised under conscious sedation. A vessel running over the surface of the lesion was continuous on the alveolar ridge. To reduce intra‑operative hemorrhage transfixion suture was passed around the vessel on the alveolar ridge. Then the lesion was excised from the base of peduncle with a scalpel. Histopathologically, the diagnosis of a congenital granular cell lesion of the jaw was given. Follow up of 3 months shows no signs of recurrence. CGCE may interfere with feeding, requiring a conservative excision as soon as the child is fit to undergo surgery. Tendency for recurrence and malignant transformation has not been documented.
