Multiple pregnancy epulides: a case report

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2018.04.020

Abstract

Abstract:

Pregnancy epulis is a tumor-like lesion that results from aggravating gingivitis due to high level of gonadal hormone concentration. Pregnancy epulis is commonly manifested as a single lump. A case of multiple pregnancy epulises, which has been rarely explored, is reported in this paper. The patient received no other treatment but a single supragingival scaling. Results showed no remarkable changes in the lesion. However, all the epulides regressed spontaneously in five months after the parturition.

Key words: pregnancy epulis, gingivitis, gonadal hormone, dental plaque
