Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia: supraperiosteal excision by the blade-loop technique.
Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) is a benign, irreversible, persistent, and usually painless lesion of the oral mucosa that is the result of epithelial proliferation. Many surgical methods of treatment have proven to be not totally satisfactory in case of surgery, completeness of tissue removal, healing time, or patient comfort in the postoperative period. A relatively simple and effective procedure is proposed for the supraperiosteal excision of this lesion from the palate, using a razor blade cutting element and handle, called the blade-loop knife, or the Paquette knife handle. The blade-loop technique minimizes trauma and results in a short and comfortable postoperative period.
