Abstract
The purpose of this study was to present the features of 50 peripheral giant cell granulomas (PGCGs). Distribution of PGCGs according to age, sex, location, and frequency of occurrence in dentate and edentulous areas were evaluated. Radiological features of border definition, resorption of alveolar crest, size of lesions, possible displacement of the teeth, and foci of calcification were analyzed. It was determined that 48% of the lesions took place in the maxilla, and 52% in the mandible. 56% of cases were males and 44% were females. The border definition of the lesion was significantly tooth-related (p < 0.001). The average sizes of tooth-unrelated lesions were significantly greater that of tooth-related ones. Good border definition was more frequent than bad definition. The lesions which caused alveolar crest resorption were less than the others.
