Aim: Reactive hyperplasias are often encountered tumor-like exophytic lesions of the oral mucosa, but they not a neoplasm. Local factors such as dental calculus, food residue stuck between teeth, incompatible prosthetic restoration, and systemic hormonal changes play role in etiology these hyperplasia. The aim this presentation is to evaluate possible etiological factors, clinical, radiological findings 10 reactive hyperplasia cases seen different regions mouth.
 Case report: Ten patients (seven females three males) with mean age 40.2 applied our clinic complaints swelling mouth. In medical anamnesis, it was learned that (30%) had recently given birth related started occur second trimester pregnancy, diseases heart, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, were under regular medication for disease. There no finding on extraoral examination. intraoral examination, mass which red and/or pink, lobular/nodular, painless, pedunculated sessile, smooth ulcerated maxilla six patients, mandible lower lip mucosa one patient. Poor hygiene seven (70%) restoration lesion-related area two (20%) attrition incisal tooth surface diastema (10%) patient found. Radiographic examination revealed minimal resorption alveolar crest only seen. All histopathologically examined after surgical excision. According clinic, radiographic histopathological features, diagnosis made pyogenic granuloma (four cases; 40%), peripheral ossifying fibroma (three 30%), traumatic (two 20%) giant cell (one case; 10%). 
 Conclusion: It concluded case series mostly caused by local factors. clinical observed nodular mass, soft, smooth-surfaced. detected most lesions.
