Epulis
Epulis (plural ''epulides'') is any tumor like enlargment (i.e. lump) situated on the gingival or alveolar mucosa. The word literally means "on the gingiva", and describes only the location of the mass and has no further implications on the nature of the lesion. There are three types: fibromatous, ossifying and acanthomatous. The related term parulis (commonly called a gumboil) refers to a mass of inflamed granulation tissue at the opening of a draining sinus on the alveolus over (or near to) the root of an infected tooth.〔 Another closely related term is gingival enlargement, which tends to be used where the enlargement is more generalized over the whole gingiva rather than a localized mass. ==Epulis fissuratum== (詳細はhyperplasia of excess connective tissue folds that takes place in reaction to chronic trauma from an ill fitting denture. It usually occurs in the mandibular labial sulcus. Sometimes the term ''epulis'' is used synonymously with epulis fissuratum,〔 but this is technically incorrect as several other lesions could be described as epulides.
