Abstract
Oral manifestations of Neurofibromatosis 1 although reported in literature, generalised Mucosal hyperplasia presented here is not evidenced. This rare presentation of fibrous hyperplasia of the completely edentulous maxillary and mandibular arch with inadequate Interridge space and intraoral variation of the alveolar ridge was confirmed as Neurofibromatosis 1 after histopathological investigations, panoramic and Radiographic CBCT. Surgical soft tissue recontouring of the maxillary and mandibular ridges were undertaken to accommodate the procedural steps for complete denture fabrication. This case illustrates the importance of a phased treatment approach in NF1 patients, including surgical, prosthetic, and genetic counselling interventions to achieve satisfactory outcomes.
