Abstract

We clinically analyzed 15 pediatric patients with Epulis who were treated at our department between 1977 and 1998. The ratio of boys to girls was 1: 1. The average age on appearance of this lesion was 9.0 years, with the range of 5 months to 14 years. Most of the lesions were located in the first incisor region in the upper jaw. Most of lesions were histopatholgically epulis fibrosa. Only one case was congenital epulis. The prognosis of most patients was favorable, and recurrence occurred in 2 patients, who were treated only by resection of epulis. However, there has been no recurrence about for thirteen years after the second operation.
