ABSTRACT
Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory enlargement seen in the oral cavity. However, the term pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer, because the lesion is unrelated to infection and it arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. It is predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, because of the vascular effects of female hormones. Excisional surgery is the treatment of choice, some other treatment such as the use of Diode laser, ND-YAG laser, flash lamp pulsed dye laser, cryosurgery, Intralesional injection of ethanol or corticosteroid and sodium-tetradecylsulfate sclerotherapy have been proposed.
Keywords: Pyogenic granuloma, Inflammatory hyperplasia.
