Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Exophytic gingival lesions are frequently encountered in our day-to-day clinical practice. Of which, Pyogenic granuloma is a relatively common, benign mucocutaneous lesion. The exact etiopathogenesis is unclear. Trauma, chronic inflammation, pregnancy are considered to be the possible etiological factors. The term ‘pyogenic granuloma’ is said to be a misnomer, because it is neither associated with pus formation nor a granulomatous lesion. Treatment consists of surgical excision along with eradicating the causative agents. Recurrence of the lesion can be prevented by complete excision of the lesion and by following proper oral hygiene measures. This article describe a case of pyogoenic granuloma in a 16year old female which have been successfully managed and maintained.
