Abstract
The pyogenic granuloma is a reactive non-neoplastic lesion typically found as a painless mucosal overgrowth that easily bleeds because of its high vascularization. Herein we report a case of periodontal breakdown and pyogenic granuloma in a 38-year-old female patient. Clinical examination revealed an exophytic lesion in the interdental gingiva of teeth 42 and 43, with 2 cm in its largest diameter, pediculated, with 3 years of evolution. Calculus formation was detected in the neighboring teeth. Root scaling and excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. All removed tissue was submitted to histopathologic analysis that confirmed the diagnosis. The patient is under periodontal control for 9 months with no signs of recurrence.
