A Reactive Lesion (Pyogenic Granuloma) Associated With Dental Implant: A Case Report

Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia around Mini Dental Implants without the Protection of a Denture Base

“…Certain characteristics of the reported case deserve further commentary as they probably promoted the development of a TUGSE. Reactive lesions such as TUGSE may develop as a consequence of chronic trauma, which in turn can be caused by dental implants . Mini implants are smaller and have square edges, but are unlikely to cause tissue trauma per se .…”

“…9 Reports of rarer reactive lesions are restricted to conventional implant cases. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of such lesions around mini implants.…”

“…Reactive lesions such as TUGSE may develop as a consequence of chronic trauma, 18 which in turn can be caused by dental implants. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Mini implants are smaller and have square edges, but are unlikely to cause tissue trauma per se. 1,2,[4][5][6][21][22][23] However, severe ridge resorption may reduce attached, keratinized mucosa.…”

“…5 On the other hand, conventional dental implants have been used extensively for several years with a predictable success rate; however, the literature reports some cases of oral mucosal lesions associated with implant materials, albeit rarely. Reactive lesions, such as pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell lesions, have been reported as a consequence of implant placement, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] as has allergy to titanium abutments. 15 Other examples of lesions that may develop around implants include melanoacanthoma 16 and squamous odontogenic tumors.…”
