Hello ,thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Yes actually sometimes ill fitting dentures does cause a growth of mucosa which looks like flap inside the mouth. But it can be a normal mucosa also like frenums.
If the growth is painful then it is because of ill fitting denture, if not then it can be normal.
Hope it will help you.
