  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Epulis fissuratum (EF) is a benign inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia of oral mucosa, caused by chronic mechanical irritation from an ill-fitting prosthesis. The aim of this report is to describe the medico-surgical management of fibrous hyperplasia and to demonstrate the continued relevance of conventional surgical techniques in insuring optimal clinical outcomes. Case presentation: A 43-year-old female patient presented with upper buccal mucosal growth caused by a traumatic prosthesis. After an initial phase to reduce inflammation, surgical excision was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibrous hyperplasia with no sign of malignancy. Discussion: While various technological alternatives exist, traditional surgical excision was chosen in this case due to its superior precision and controlled impact on surrounding tissues. Well-conducted post-operative management ensures optimal healing within 7 days.
