“…Both PG lesions occurred in the anterior and vestibular regions of the gingiva of two patients in the third trimester of pregnancy, which was shown in agreement with the studies performed by Choube et al [20] and Cardoso et al [21]. It should be noted that they presented accumulation of supragingival tartar and visible plaque, as well as defective restorations and residual roots, as were also observed by other authors [2,3,4,7,8,20,21,22,24] who considered that such mouth conditions are related to PG.…”

“…According to the procedure suggested by Riganelli et al [22], supragingival scraping, replacement of defective restorations, removal of residual roots, observation and maintenance of oral hygiene were chosen, since the lesions were under control, without interference in chewing, swallowing, brushing and no spontaneous bleeding. Complete remission of PG occurred one month after termination of pregnancy, probably due to the control of plaque and tartar performed fortnightly and to the fact that the lesions presented reduced volume, corroborating other authors [21,22,23,24] when describing that depending on the volume, cure of the lesion may occur spontaneously after pregnancy and normalization of hormone levels.…”

Introduction: Neglect with oral health and hygiene will be reflected in the accumulation of biofilm and possible formation of supra and / or subgingival calculus, one of the etiological factors of Piogenic granuloma (PG). Objective: To investigate the prevalence and etiological factors of pyogenic granuloma in pregnant women. Method: The study was carried out on 102 pregnant women attending prenatal care in Family Health Strategies. The oral examination of the gingival tissue of the maxilla and the mandible was performed to evaluate the presence of PG, according to Neville et al classification, gingival bleeding, poorly adapted restorations, supra gingival calculus and residual roots. The chi-square test (χ2) was used to investigate the degree of association between variables. Results: Prevalence of PG was 1.96% (n = 2) in the third semester of pregnancy. No pregnant woman had received information about the condition during prenatal care. Regarding the quality of bucaL hygiene, in 63 pregnant women it was considered unsatisfactory, with plaque visible and supragingival tartar in both arches and satisfactory in 39, with supragingival tartar in the lingual of the antero-inferiors and in the vestibular face of the upper molars associated to plaque visible on all teeth. The chi-square test demonstrated a greater need for scaling and corono-root straightening and removal of residual roots when associated with the pregnancy condition. Conclusions: The prevalence of pyogenic granuloma was 1.9% during the third trimester of gestation. As an etiological factor, the presence of too much dental calculus and visible plaque in both arches was found in 61.7% of the pregnant women.
