STRESZCZENIE
Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia (IFH) is a
benign lesion induced by chronic denture trauma
that reduces vestibular depth and complicates
prosthetic rehabilitation. This case report
describes the comprehensive management of
a 64-year-old edentulous man presenting with
severe ridge resorption and extensive mandibular
fibrous hyperplasia caused by overextended
denture flanges. Treatment involved initial
tissue conditioning using adjusted existing
dentures to reestablish vertical dimension of
occlusion and maxillomandibular relationship
in centric relation, followed by surgical excision
of the lesion combined with vestibuloplasty. The
corrected prostheses were immediately reinserted
to guide mucosal healing and maintain vestibular
depth. Secondary epithelialization provided
favourable tissue conditions and supported long-term prosthetic success. While conservative
tissue conditioning effectively reduces initial
inflammation, extensive fibrous lesions require
surgical intervention. Because excision alone
compromises vestibular depth, adjunctive
vestibuloplasty is essential to restore the prosthetic
bed. The combined use of tissue conditioning,
surgical excision and vestibuloplasty offers a
predictable management strategy for extensive
IFH, ensuring optimal mucosal healing and
stable prosthetic rehabilitation while minimizing
recurrence.
