“Pyogenic Granuloma - Hyperplastic Lesion of the Gingiva: Case Reports”

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants. It is a tumourlike growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or skin that is considered to be neoplastic in nature. It usually arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors, or certain kinds of drugs. Histologically, the surface epithelium may be intact, or may show foci of ulcerations or even exhibiting hyperkeratosis. It overlies a mass of dense connective tissue composed of significant amounts of mature collagen. Gingiva is the most common site affected followed by buccal mucosa, tongue and lips. Pyogenic granuloma in general, does not occur when excised along with the base and its causative factors. This paper presents some cases of a pyogenic granuloma managed by surgical intervention.

Peri-Implant Diseases: an update for dentistry

“…Clinically, it is a tumor-like growth of the oral cavity, most often located around the anterior teeth. 19 The study of Dojcinovic et al 10 demonstrated the case of a man who had developed a PG due to the inadequate choice of a healing abutment, thus allowing an accumulation of plaque and chronic inflammation of the peri-implant tissue. Olmedo et al 4 histologically observed the presence of metal particles in biopsied GPs, suggesting that the etiology of the lesions may be related to the corrosion process of the metallic structure, as shown also by Rodrigues et al 9 GPCG is a relatively frequent benign reactive lesion of the oral cavity, originating from the periosteum or periodontal membrane, developed in response to local irritation or chronic trauma.…”

Pyoenic granuloma with alveolar bone loss

“…Clinically pyogenic granuloma seen as exophytic lesion with a pedunculated or sessile base and their size varies from few millimeters to several centimeters in size but rarely seen more than 2.5 cm [8] and rarely, may cause significant bone loss. [9] In present case the size of lesion attained unusual larger size which ranges from 5-6 cm and caused significant bone loss in affected area.…”

Gravidarum granuloma associated to an osseointegrated implant: case report

“…When surgical excision below the periosteum and removal of irritants are performed, the rate of recurrence of granuloma gravidarum is very low, comprising about 5% of cases 5 . Additionally, a careful management of the lesion should be performed at the same time to maintain and improve the mucogingival complex 28 .…”
