Conservative management of oral pyogenic granuloma with diode laser: A case report

Abstract: The oral pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring tumor like reactive lesion that occurs as a response to different stimuli such as hormonal imbalances, low grade chronic irritation, trauma or certain type of drugs and oral contraceptives. It is frequently seen in the gingiva, and also lips, tongue and buccal mucosa are the other commonest sites.

“…Relatively, Asnaashari et al, after the application of a diode laser to a pediatric patient with an oral PG lesion, expressed minimal discomfort inter- and postoperation [ 21 ]. In this regard, the diode laser is more suitable than other types of lasers, assuming a smaller size of lesion and a lower cost [ 20 ].…”

“…It is generally accepted that PG is formed in response to different stimulations like traumatic injuries, certain medications, and recurrent irritations. Other factors that have been linked to the development of this lesion include abnormal tooth development, primary tooth injury, and, as in this case, tooth eruption, which causes chronic trauma to the gums [14,[19][20][21].…”

“…50 Dental caries is basically a disturbance between the loss and gain of the minerals from the tooth surface. 51 The bacteria present in the mouth, fermenting foodstuffs, and generating acids are responsible for losing the minerals from the teeth, while the gain of the minerals occurs from fluoride and saliva present in the mouth. 52 When such balance is altered because of continuous consumption of fermentable carbohydrates, lack of fluoride consumption, and poor oral hygiene, there is a constant loss and slighter gain of minerals resulting in tooth decay.…”
