Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia treatment in Celaya

Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia is a benign increase of fibrous tissue in the mouth that appears as a reaction to chronic irritation of the mucosa, usually from the rubbing of poorly fitted dental prostheses.

Common causes: The repeated contact of a prosthetic edge or a sharp tooth against the gum and the folds of the mucosa gradually stimulates the formation of fibrous tissue.

Frequent symptoms: A firm, painless fold or lump is usually observed, which may become inflamed or reddened if the irritation continues.

The one who evaluates this type of lesion is the dentist, and at times the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, to review the prosthetic fit and the affected mucosa. In the face of any growth that does not disappear when the source of friction is removed, the prudent thing is to see one of these professionals for a review.
