Abstract:
Epuli (granulomas) are the most frequently observed gingival tumours. The etiopathogenesis of the hyperplasia is not yet clear, and classification inconsistent. Literature on the subject presents considerable discrepancies regarding the tumours origin. The factors determining their development, growth rate, and tendency to recur are still unknown although several options have been considered, i.e., type of injury or inflammatory process, hygiene, nutrition, alcohol, nicotine, pharmacotherapy, hormonal status, and immune efficiency. The opinions of authors of the literature on etiopathogenetic, the classification, the clinical images and the treatment of epulides are represented.
