The objective of this research is an evaluate of clinical and histologic aspects of fibrous inflammatory hyperplasia and the possibilities of its treatment. This lesion is frequently originated for using total or partial prosthesis which are inadequate adapted generating a chronic traumatism of low intensity. Clinical cases in jaw and maxila have been reported, not existing predilection for any dental arches. Small lesions can be treated by the conservative way that means removing the causal agent or atrophying by putting pressure with a new prosthesis, whereas extensive lesions of large evolution need surgical excision. If the surgical treatment is considered, this should include the total removal of the lesion, using varieties of  techniques such as “cold” scalpel, laser or electrosurgical techniques. The surgical removal is necessary because recover the normal contour of tissue and the prosthetic adaptation.  reports exist about dysplasic alterations related to  fibrous inflammatory hyperplasia, but the possibility of a malignant transformation is actually controversial.
