LASER EXCISION OF ORAL PYOGENIC GRANULOMA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The pyogenic granuloma (PG) is primarily an oral disease, relatively common, tumor-like, exuberant tissue response to localized irritation, physical trauma or hormonal factors. Oral PG occurs predominantly on the gingiva, but it is also encountered on the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and rarely on the hard palate. The peak prevalence of PG is in teenagers and young adults and has more predilection towards females. The most common treatment of PG is surgical excision but alternative approaches, especially laser excision has also been proposed in lieu of better patient acceptance from the functional and esthetic point of view. We report a rare case of pyogenic granuloma in a 60-year-old patient, which was successfully treated by diode laser. Diode laser surgery appears to be a suitable option to conventional surgical excision as it presents numerous intra-operative and post-operative benefits. Keywords: Pyogenic granuloma, Diode laser.
