Removal of hyperplastic tissueis essential for managing excessive tissue growth on the alveolar ridge or adjacent mucosa, which can arise from various causes such as ill-fitting prosthetics, chronic irritation, or systemic conditions. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing discomfort or functional issues due to irritative or reactive hyperplasia. For instance, a patient suffering from a denture-induced fibroma may find relief and improved prosthetic fit following the excision of hyperplastic tissue.
The primary benefit of removing hyperplastic tissue is its ability to eliminate sources of discomfort, irritation, or interference with prosthetic fit. By surgically excising the tissue, clinicians can restore normal anatomy, reduce pain, and improve the function of prosthetic devices. This level of intervention improves the likelihood of successful outcomes, particularly in cases of irritative or reactive hyperplasia. Additionally, removal of hyperplastic tissue is often a straightforward procedure, minimizing recovery time and discomfort for the patient.
For oral and maxillofacial surgeons, removal of hyperplastic tissue is valuable for addressing irritative or reactive hyperplasia that interferes with function or aesthetics. Surgeons should ensure that the procedure is performed meticulously, removing only the necessary tissue while preserving healthy structures. Additionally, this treatment provides an opportunity to assess the underlying cause of the hyperplasia and recommend further interventions if necessary. By incorporating removal of hyperplastic tissue into the treatment plan, surgeons can ensure better outcomes for the patient.
