Modak Dr. Shilpa Chaudhary Dr. February 2019 8 2 01 02 ABSTRACT

 

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in oral cavity. These are non neoplastic lesions and are caused by constant low grade trauma, persistant irritation, hormonal imbalance. Clinically these are exophytic outgrowths ,that are hemorrhagic.Pyogenic granuloma may occur in all age group, has female predilection in second decade of life due to hormonal changes. Surgical exicision is preferred conventional treatment.The application of laser is newly recommended treatment;  this includes use of CO2 laser, Nd:YAG  laser & Er:YAG lasers.In this case report we describe a pyogenic granuloma in 59 years old female patient, that was treated successfully  by using Diode  laser with minimum intraoperative bleeding, reduced pain post–operatively. Healing was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed on follow up upto one year.
