title: [Benign maxillary tumors. Epulis in Senegal].
abstract: The epulis is a hyperplasic tumour restricted to the gum. It is the most widely spread tumour among the benin gum tumours. It has various etiologies. The authors emphasize the epidemiological and clinical aspects of 96 cases. Four types of epulis are observed, the most common type being the acquired epulis. On an etiological level, the factor related to oral hygiene is the most criticized. Their frequency in the oral pathology should lead the dental surgeon to master his treatment.
