These observations and literature data cover the clinical and histological features, etiology and management of the different types of these pseudotumors: epulis, gingival hyperplasia, diapneusia and botryomycoma. At the end of this work, the importance of a thorough knowledge of these lesions and a mastery of their diagnostic and therapeutic approach by dentists has been clearly demonstrated, in order to meet patients' needs and perfect management.
