Fibrous overgrowth is caused by <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"319\">chronic<\/span> Irritation of the denture flange (edge) against the area where the gums meet the inner cheek (alveolar vestibular mucosa). Because the bone underneath the denture constantly changes due to bone loss, the bone support for the base of the denture becomes unstable, resulting in poorly fitting dentures and epulis fisuratum.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQuienes-contraen-epulis-fissuratum\"><\/span>Who gets epulis fissuratum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The condition is more common in the elderly as the need for a prosthesis increases with age.
