Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplastic lesion seen in the oral cavity. It is commonly appear in the gingiva. The objectives of the research were to determine the percent of gingival pyogenic granuloma in the population of Sulaimani city -Iraq in relation to gender, age, pregnancy ,systemic diseases ,oral hygiene and site of occurrence of pyogenic granuloma. Materials and Methods: In this study the total stratified sample [1136 (568 male +568 female] and the randomly selected sample [248 (124 male and 124 female their age range (from 10 to 70 year) .They were examined orally for inspection of gingival pyogenic granuloma and determination of oral hygiene. The percent of the total sample with gingival pyogenic granuloma was (11.3%). The most of patients with gingival pyogenic granuloma was in females in their Second decade. The high percent of gingival pyogenic granuloma was found in buccal gingiva in upper jaw. Highly significant relationship was found between gingival pyogenic granuloma and its’ history. There was significant correlation between gingival pyogenic granuloma and oral hygiene status and systemic condition.

Background: Hyaluronic acid acts as a barrier to plaque bacteria and fulfills several extracellular functions vital to preserving healthy gingival tissue. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of 0.2% Hyaluronic Acid Comprising Gel (Gingegel), combined with motivation, instruction, and scaling polishing to decrease gum inflammation among patients with gingivitis. Methods: This was a parallel-design, double-blind, randomized control trial involving plaque-induced gingivitis patients 19–40 years of age. The sample was divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=20) was the test group, receiving motivation, instruction, scaling, polishing, and Gingegel application, and Group 2 (n=30) was the control group, receiving motivation, instruction, scaling, and polishing only. Each patient’s plaque and gingival indices were recorded at baseline and after two weeks of treatment. Results: There was a statistically significant enhancement in the clinical parameters of both groups after two weeks, including a reduction in the Plaque index (PLI) from 0.967 at baseline to 0.663 after two weeks and mean reductions in the Gingival Index (GI) from 0.994 at baseline to 0.725 after two weeks (p <0.001). Conclusions: There was a statistically significant decrease in GI of the total sample (including the test and control groups) at baseline and after two weeks.

Background: The oral cavity, which stretches from the lips to the oropharynx, is the initial portion of the digestive system. Materials and Method: Twenty-eight separate oral soft tissue surgeries were performed, fourteen with a 940 nm Diode laser with an output power of 1W and the other fourteen with a scalpel. Results: Although there was no difference in healing between the two groups, patients who were operated on with a laser felt more comfortable than those who were operated on with a conventional manner.
