Abstract: Epulis penetrating buccal and lingual sides are generally large in size, which may accompany with alveolar bone resorption. The recovery of soft and hard tissue defects after surgical resection is a major challenge in the treatment of epulis. This article reported the use of buccal transposition flap through the adjacent space combined with guided tissue regeneration in the treatment of large-volume epulis with alveolar bone resorption in one case.

Key words: epulis, laterally positioned flap, guided tissue regeneration
