Many foreign patients choose to treat epulis at the Top Ihilov Medical Center. Some are attracted by the promptness of diagnosis (which usually takes only three to four days), others are interested in the high quality of therapy and the innovativeness of the methods used, and others — the skill of Israeli surgeons. To these advantages, another is added – the affordability of prices, which in Israel are controlled by the government and are the same for both citizens of the country and foreign patients.
The doctors at the Top Ihilov center have many years of experience in treating tumorous formations of the gums and oral cavity, quickly and accurately identifying different types of epulis and using a wide range of methods for treatment — from classic surgical curettage to laser excision.
Treatment methods for epulis in Israel
Epulis is a tumorous formation located on the gum or on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Several types of the disease are distinguished — fibrous hyperplasia of connective tissue, which occurs as a reaction to trauma or other pathologies of the gums, vascular formation on the oral mucosa, appearing as a result of constant irritation or poor oral hygiene, fibrous and fibroid epulis, etc. The variety of types of this pathology is such that there is epulis that occurs exclusively in pregnant women.
The methods of treating epulis in Israel mainly consist of surgical resection of fibrous tissues. The doctors at the Top Ihilov clinic perform surgeries with precision, removing only the tissues of the neoplasm.
In addition to traditional surgical methods (curettage), laser excision is used with the application of diode, carbon dioxide, and solid-state lasers. This method has an undeniable advantage – the risk of bleeding and other complications is practically excluded.
At the same time, correction or reconstruction of the epithelial tissues of the gums and bone tissues may be performed. After resection of such a type of epulis as peripheral giant cell granuloma, deep subgingival cleaning may be applied to remove dental plaque and other possible factors irritating the soft tissues of the oral cavity. Recurrences of epulis after surgical treatment are quite rare.
Treatment of epulis without surgery in Israel is not performed. However, if the disease is detected in pregnant women, surgical intervention is carried out after childbirth.
Diagnosis of epulis in Israel
Many foreign patients have already chosen to treat epulis in Israel – reviews testify to the high level of training of Israeli specialists and the prompt and accurate diagnosis. Traditionally, a full examination takes no more than three days.
First day — consultation
The diagnosis of epulis in Israel usually begins on the very first day when the patient arrives in the country. The patient goes to the clinic for the first consultation with the leading specialist accompanied by a curator-translator — a representative of the international department of Top Ihilov, who is responsible for full support (transfer, translation, solving everyday issues, coordinating doctors, etc.).
Second day — examination
The necessary diagnostic procedures are carried out.
- Visual examination of the formation.
- Histological examination is sometimes used for differential diagnosis, to distinguish one type of epulis from another or to exclude the possibility of malignant process development.
Third day — consultation
The result of the diagnostic program is a medical consultation — it is convened by the leading specialist. Several specialized doctors participate in the consultation. Together they determine the exact type of epulis and choose the treatment method. In Israeli clinics, an individual approach is applied to each patient, so they can also participate in the consultation. Among other things, the patient has the right to receive all information regarding their disease and to use the opinion of an independent specialist to assess the results of the consultation (the so-called "right to a second opinion").
Treatment of epulis in Israel — cost
A huge advantage of treating epulis in Israel is the prices. In hospitals in France, Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada, prices are 35-40% higher compared to Israeli medical centers.
