This systematic review aimed to determine various mucosal lesions that appeared in the oral mucosa of a patient with a removable denture, which reported in some international dentistry journals. The search through PubMed and Wiley was done and resulted in 347 articles. A hundred and ninety-six articles were selected for the title. The abstract selection gathered 23 articles. The selection of full-text was done afterward and resulted in 8 articles with the full-text which met the inclusion criteria and analyzed by the two authors. The mucosal lesions evaluated in this systematic review were some specific lesions that commonly found on the surface of the mucosa or in any tissue level, which varies from benign to malignant, such as hyperplasia, hyperemia tumor, nodules, and ulceration. The diagnosis was denture stomatitis, oral lichen planus, fibroma, peripheral ameloblastoma, and chondroblastic osteosarcoma. The mucosal lesion in patients with a removable denture, such as removable partial denture and the full denture was various. The lesion's existence was influenced by some factors, such as prolonged use of the dentures, the denture condition, and oral hygiene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
