Abstract
The authors evaluate the case of a 58 year-old patient with extensive
hypertrophy of soft tissue in the uper vestibulum of the oral cavity. The case report illustrates how hypertrophy developed as a results of an inadequate prosthesis and poor health care. The open plastic procedure of the vestibular furrow in the upper jaw is advantageous in correcting extensive hypertrophy in the mobile mucosa of the alveolar ridge.
