http://www.sciepub.com/journal/IJDSR This Journal will be a part of the Field of Dentistry. Dentistry comprises of various subdivisions like Periodontics, Orthodontics, Endodontics, Oral medicine, Dental implants, Dental materials, Oral microbiology and Pathology and others. There is more scope for research as far as the field is concerned. The recent updates in the field are to be documented and brought to the knowledge of all those who are associated with the field. This journal will serve as a platform for updating the recent advances and updates in Dentistry. The interesting case reports and various modalities of treatment updates are also to be included in the publication. We would like to communicate its readers about new ideas, different opinions, developments and key issues in dentistry with a focus on clinical research to enable researchers and scientists to publish their findings to the rest of the community, in an International level. Any type of paper, article or report that is relevant for those in dental practice, whether it is undergraduate or postgraduate, can be published in the journal.

Although non-neoplastic, these lesions may recur, particularly in the presence of persistent local irritants or following incomplete surgical excision. Accurate diagnosis, appropriate oral hygiene preparation, and complete removal are essential to ensure long-term stability. Case presentation: This case series describes three female patients presenting with recurrent benign epulis in the anterior maxilla, each with a history of previous excision performed elsewhere. Case 1: An ossifying epulis that developed during pregnancy was treated using a papilla-preserving excision technique, with uneventful healing and no recurrence at 6 months. Case 2: A fibrous epulis with mild inflammation recurred one month after conservative excision, requiring a second, more extensive surgical intervention including papilla removal. Case 3: A large fibrous epulis associated with poorly adapted prosthetic crowns was managed by complete excision combined with prosthetic correction, with no recurrence observed at 3 months. Discussion: Epulis lesions (fibrous, ossifying, or inflammatory) represent both esthetic and functional challenges, particularly in the anterior maxilla. Recurrence is commonly associated with persistent local irritants such as plaque, calculus, or prosthetic trauma, as well as incomplete excision. Successful management requires elimination of etiological factors, complete and well-planned surgical excision, and adaptation of the technique to esthetic considerations. Conclusion: This case series highlights the clinical variability of recurrent benign epulis and underscores the importance of comprehensive management, including initial oral preparation, complete excision, histopathological confirmation, and structured follow-up to achieve stable and esthetically satisfactory outcomes.]]> Melak Tlili, Wafa El Kholti, Marouane El Machrouhi, Jamila Kissa 2026-04-08 Science and Education Publishing 2026-04-08 1 14 1 5 10.12691/ijdsr-14-1-1
