Core Tip The present clinical case describes the multidisciplinary management of a patient with epulis fissuratum developed after 30 years of continuous use of a complete maxillary prosthesis without removal. The treatment was carried out in two phases, i.e., surgical and prosthetic phases. In the surgical phase, the hyperplastic tissue was removed, and a vestibuloplasty with free gingival graft was performed. The prosthetic phase involved the fabrication of new complete prostheses to restore oral function and aesthetics. The comprehensive treatment which combined surgical techniques and correct prosthetic rehabilitation, guarantees favorable long-term results.
