Abstract:
We investigated 60 cases of so-called denture fibroma, most of which occurred in women in their 50s to 70s. The most commonly affected areas were the upper alveolar ridge and the bottom of the alveolabial sulcus, and most of the prostheses responsible were complete dentures. Elevated and tumor-like lesions were most frequent. Histopathologically, about 60% of the lesions were of the fibromatous type. Degeneration and inflammation of the salivary glands were identified in one third of cases.
