Description
Summary:The oral cavity is frequently affected by gingival pyogenic granuloma (PG), a benign tumor that is known for its quick growth and tendency to hemorrhage. The clinical presentation, diagnostic procedure, and treatment of a patient with gingival pyogenic granuloma are all detailed in this case study. A female individual aged 25 years in otherwise good condition arrived with a sessile gingival tumor in the anterior mandibular region that was expanding quickly. During dental hygiene procedures, there was intermittent bleeding and discomfort related to the lesion. Based on histology analysis and clinical examination, PG was diagnosed. The course of treatment included surgical excision followed by a histological analysis to ensure total eradication. Appointments for follow-up revealed adequate healing and no indications of recurrence. This case study aims to demonstrate the need for prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and diligent follow-up to effectively manage gingival pyogenic granuloma. Dental professionals can better treat patients and achieve better results with a thorough understanding of this common oral lesion and its management.
