Irritational Pyogenic Granuloma - A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Gingival overgrowth, results due to increase in the number of cells or cell size. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) a relatively common gingival tumour like over growth, occurs as an exuberant tissue response to localized irritation, trauma or hormonal factors. Because of high incidence of oral PG, critical need arose for its proper diagnosis, management and treatment. This report presents a case of gingival overgrowth which was histo pathologically confirmed to be a pyogenic granuloma. Lesion was excised using diode laser under local anesthesia and proved to be a safe and efficient mode of treatment with minimal post-operative complication. 10 days follow-up showed complete healing by secondary intention and minimal of scaring, with no recurrence following 1 month post operatively.
