Treatment of recurrent pyogenic granuloma: Case report with 1.5-year follow-up

Abstract

In young adult females, oral pyogenic granuloma predominates in the second decade of life. The gingiva is the most typical site of involvement. In this case study, a 16-year-old female patient was described who had a painless intraoral growth involving the soft tissue of the lower front teeth that bled profusely when being brushed and interfered with her ability to eat. The growth was surgically removed while under local anaesthesia. The patient's case was monitored for 1.5 years to look for any recurrence in this or other regions and to ensure that his oral health had stabilized.
