A Case of Epulis Granulomatosa Causing the Delay in the Eruption of the Upper First Molar

Abstract

A case of epulis in a six-year-old female was reported here. It occurred in the gingiva in the upper left first molar region, with the upper left first molar not having come out yet. The upper right first molar had come out completely by then. There were no symptoms beside slight contact pain in the tumor. The tumor was removed surgically and histopathologically showed epulis granumatosa. The prognosis has been good, and the upper left first molar came out soon after the surgery. No recurrence has been observed to date.
