Management of Pyogenic Granuloma in the Mandibular Anterior Region Using Diode Laser

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Pyogenic granuloma is the most common tumor-like growth that occurs in the oral cavity. It is expressed as reactive hyperplasia of the gingival connective tissue in response to etiological factors such as local irritation, trauma, and hormonal factors. Other factors accused of causing pyogenic granuloma include foreign materials, hypertension, and poor oral hygiene. The pyogenic granuloma most commonly occurs in the gingiva. Pyogenic granuloma in the mandibular anterior region is associated with poor aesthetics and discomfort as it interferes with mastication. The purpose of this case report is to evaluate the management of the pyogenic granuloma diagnosed in a 25 year old male patient using a diode laser.
