Abstract

Abstract: This article reports a 2-year follow-up of a gingival epulis excision case, exploring surgical approaches selection and recurrence risks. The choice of surgical approaches requires comprehensive evaluation of keratinized tissue width (KTW), potential pathological types, and local irritants.For lesions with intact epithelium, complete involvement of keratinized gingiva, or postoperative KTW＜2 mm, partial gingival epithelium preservation may be considered.However,vigilance is required for pathological types with high recurrence tendencies, (e.g., giant cell granuloma). The study emphasizes systematic management of gingival fibromas, highlighting that preoperative completion of periodontal therapy, elimination of local irritants, and long-term maintenance constitute the cornerstone of recurrence control.

Key words: epulis, giant cell, recurrence
