Hi, you can ask your veterinarian if they are aware of any studies for Bella's condition. Some veterinary universities occasionally have treatment trials for very specific conditions. Unfortunately an epulis can commonly recur if large or aggressive. Sometimes curative surgery may require removal of a portion of the jaw. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2089&aid=3057
