Description

It is rare that the epulis occures in pediatrics patients. And there are few osteoplastic epulis.<BR>We will report an osteoplastic epulis in a boy who was 11years and 9 months.<BR>On August 31, 1987, the patient was referred to our hospital. He had a radiopaque lesion which was 2.0×2.0×1.0cm, located at the roots of the upper left first and second premolars.<BR>Commonly, treatment of the osteoplastic epulis is surgical removal of the lesion and its base. But in children, if possible, teeth are not extracted and a careful follow up is necessary.
