--Introduction: Peri implantitis can be identified by classic clinical and radiographic signs. The aim of this case was to show an original exophytic lesion appeared 8 years after the implantation in the mandibular symphysis. Observations: The patient has been implanted on symphyseal site 8 years ago. The lesion was exophytic and located around mobile implant in right mandible. First curative surgical resection was performed under local anesthesia, combined with explantation of mobile implants. Histhopathological exam identified a giants cells granuloma. A second surgical removal was necessary under general anesthesia because of a severe recurrence. Discussion: The goal of this clinical case was to emphasize the possible correlation between inflammatory peri implantits context and giants cells granuloma. Others techniques could be used to manage this case.

Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory vascular hyperplasia often occurring in the oral cavity. It appears in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, trauma, or female steroid hormones. A 32-year-old man sought care for a tender and bleeding lesion of the left posterior maxillary gingiva. The intraoral examination showed an exophytic ulcerated nodule measuring 1.0 cm, related to a dental implant placed in the upper left second premolar position. Radiographic examination showed an oversized healing cap. A provisional diagnosis of reactive inflammatory hyperplasia was made, and the lesion was excised and submitted for histologic examination. On microscopy, the surgical specimen showed an ulcerated nodule consisting of a delicate connective tissue stroma containing numerous blood vessels with plump endothelial cells, intermingled with abundant polymorphonuclear lymphocytes. A diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma associated with a dental implant was made. In this case it was the result of an inappropriate choice of a healing cap, thus allowing an accumulation of dental plaque and sustained chronic inflammation of the peri-implant tissue. A conservative excision and replacement of the healing cap were sufficient for definitive treatment.

“…Only 6 cases have been reported in the international literature 3,5,10,20 . To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of pyogenic granuloma reported in association with a dental implant.…”
