Abstract
|
|
|
Pyogenic granuloma is a prevalent, benign muco-cutaneous lesion with exuberant tissue caused by local irritation or trauma. The term ‘pyogenic granuloma’ can be a misnomer because the lesion neither causes pus formation nor represents a true granuloma, histologically. Pyogenic granuloma appears as a sessile or pedunculated exophytic mass covered by yellow fibrinous membrane. Its smooth or lobulated surface may easily bleed or ulcerated. Gingiva is the most common site (75% of all cases), and lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and the hard palate are also affected. Surgical excision is the first choice of treatment many other treatment modalities can be used. After surgical excision, recurrence occurs up to 16% of these lesions. It is believed that recurrence ensues as a result of incomplete excison, failure to eliminate etiologic factors or repeated trauma.
This case report describes the use of diode laser in surgical excision of the recurred pyogenic granuloma on the hard palate
