LASER ASSISTED EXCISION OF PYOGENIC GRANULOMA:A CASE REPORT

Dr. Praveen Raj Jain, Dr. Shefali Jain

Abstract :

 Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common tumor–like growth of the oral cavity, considered to be of non–neoplastic nature, often caused by constant low–grade trauma as well as poor oral hygiene and maybe due to hormonal disturbances. Pyogenic  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.  Surgical excision, and removalof underlying cause in some cases, is the preferred method of treatment as it is only a benign lesion. In order to remove this lesion, scalpel, cryosurgery, diathermy and laser are used . The  aim of this study is to assess the stages of treatment, recovery and recurrence of PG when the soft tissue diode laser is used.
