Excision of Pyogenic Granuloma of Hard Palate with Diode Laser: A Case Report

Dr. Deepakshi Dimri, Dr. Chavi Bhati

Abstract :

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a prevalent inflammatory hyperplasia of skin and oral mucosa which is often caused by constant low–grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. In many cases, gingival irritation and inflammation due to poor oral hygiene are precipitating factors. Oral PG occurs predominantly on the gingiva and rarely on the hard palate. Although surgical excision is the first choice of treatment, many other treatment modalities could be counted such as cryosurgery, intralesional steroids, neodymium–doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, erbium–doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) lasers and diode laser have been suggested. A clinical report of a 28–year–old patient with pyogenic granuloma in the hard palate is presented. The treatment plan included surgical excision of the lesion using diode laser.
