Abstract

Pyogenic Granuloma is a relatively common mucocutaneous lesion seen in the oral cavity, as a response to some underlying local irritant. This condition is frequently associated with periodontal pain and discomfort, and in some cases interferes with mastication and aesthetic problems. This paper presents a case of pyogenic granuloma managed by surgical intervention.
