Özet
Introduction: Epulis gravidarum (granuloma gravidarum) is a tumor like enlargement of the gingival or alveolar mucosa which generally occurs in the second or third trimesters. It is a benign, pink, exophytic tissue overgrowth that develops within days to weeks on a pedunculated or sessile base. It is highly vascular and bleeds easily with touching. Here we present a 36 week pregnant woman with epulis gravidarum whose lesion spontaneously regressed in the postpartum period.
