<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Epulisfissuratum is an inflammatory condition seen in oral cavity</span>^{<span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">1</span>}<span style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">. This is caused due to trauma of ill fitting denture. Epulisfissuratum is commonly seen in elderly patients with poor oral and denture hygiene maintenance</span>^{<span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">2</span>}<span style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">. It&rsquo;s a type of inflammatory hyperplasia that is reactive tissue growth to stimulus like pyogenic granuloma, fioma etc. it was once thought to be candida associated. We present a case of 50yr old female patient who had extensive epulisfissuratum treated with medicines and oral and denture hygiene instead of surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
