Oral pyogenic granuloma: a review Jafarzadeh H; Sanatkhani M; Mohtasham NJ Oral Sci 2006[Dec]; 48 (4): 167-75Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. It predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, possibly because of the vascular effects of female hormones. Clinically, oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, which is usually hemorrhagic. The surface ranges from pink to red to purple, depending on the age of the lesion. Although excisional surgery is the treatment of choice for it, some other treatment protocols such as the use of Nd:YAG laser, flash lamp pulsed dye laser, cryosurgery, intralesional injection of ethanol or corticosteroid and sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy have been proposed. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, especially during pregnancy, and necessity for proper diagnosis and treatment, a complete review of published information and investigations about this lesion, in addition to knowledge about new approaches for its treatment is presented.|*Gingival Diseases/etiology/pathology/surgery[MESH]|*Granuloma, Pyogenic/etiology/pathology/surgery[MESH]|Contraceptives, Oral/adverse effects[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Facial Injuries/complications[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gingival Neoplasms/diagnosis[MESH]|Gonadal Steroid Hormones/physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Pregnancy[MESH]|Pregnancy Complications/pathology[MESH] |
