Use of Diode Laser for Surgical Management of Recurrent case Pyogenic Granuloma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently seen primary reactive hyperplasia which is seen in the oral cavity as an overgrowth of tissue due to physical trauma or hormonal factors & irritation. It is a non specific gingival overgrowth seen as a response to underlying irritating factors. Soft tissue enlargements of the oral cavity often present a diagnostic challenge because a diverse group of pathologic processes can produce such lesions. Within these lesions is a group of reactive hyperplasias, which develop in response to a chronic, recurring tissue injury that stimulates an exuberant or excessive tissue repair response. This article aims to present a case of recurring pyogenic granuloma in a 12 year old pediatric patient.
