Gingival Aggressiveness during Pregnancy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Increased circulatory hormones especially progesterone during pregnancy leads to increase in severity of gingivitis. A fibro-granulomatous lesion can sometimes develop during pregnancy and is referred to as pregnancy granuloma. Pregnancy granuloma or pregnancy tumor occurs in 0.2% to 9.6% of pregnancies. They are clinically and histologically indistinguishable from pyogenic granuloma occurring in non-pregnant women or men, appearing most commonly in second or third month of pregnancy. The authors here report a case series of pregnancy tumors depicting the hormonal influence as an important etiological factor. The hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy may be associated with generalized or localized gingival enlargement and the presence of local factors such as microbial plaque may accentuate the gingival response. Rarely the enlargement bleeds spontaneously and can cause serious complications during pregnancy.
