Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) or granuloma pyogenicum is a tumor like lesion in the oral cavity primarily seen around gingiva. PG is considered to be a non-neoplastic in nature. It is manifested as a painless sessile or pedunculated, erythematous, exophytic with specific papular or nodular with a smooth or lobulated surface, which may have a fibrinous covering. The lesion usually bleeds easily on a slight provocation. It is a reactive lesion, also classified in pregnancy associated gingival diseases. It occurs due to irritation or physical trauma from calculus or cervical restorations as also some contribution by hormonal factors and usually affects the gingiva. The growth is typically seen on or after the third month of pregnancy and may grow rapidly to acquire a large size, thus, requiring surgical removal.
