BACKGROUND The occurrence of pyogenic granuloma in association to dental implants is rare and only five cases have been reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients charts were analyzed to select patients who had been diagnosed for pyogenic granuloma and its association with dental implants had been evaluated. The clinical status of the dental implants and the prosthesis had also...

central giant cell granulomas (cgcgs) may manifest as radiolucencies anywhere in the mandible or maxilla. in rare cases, it can appear as a localized periradicular area and mimic an endodontic lesion. this case report presents an uncommon location of cgcg which was not accurately diagnosed nor timely treated. periodic follow ups of periapical radiolucencies after rct are necessary. dentists sho...

INTRODUCTION The development of various benign oral mucosal lesions associated with dental implants, such as pyogenic granuloma or peripheral giant cell granuloma, has been rarely reported. However, the occurrence of vascular diseases, such as hemangioma, related to dental implants has not been explored in the literature. In this study, we report a case of co-development of pyogenic granuloma a...

Giant cell reparative granuloma accounts for 1%-7% of all benign lesions of the jaw. Giant cell reparative granuloma often arises in the mandible and in the maxilla and affects children and young adults. It is usually a slow-growing lesion, fast-growing lesions having rarely been reported. The latter, despite the innocent histological appearance, has an aggressive behaviour mimicking a malignan...

Central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.Multifocal CGCGs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as Noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.Very few c...

BACK GROUND The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity as reported in the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Subharti Dental College, Meerut and to compare these data with those of previously reported studies from other regions and countries. MATERIAL AND METHOD Patient records of the Department of Oral Pathology ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Stem cells are considered as new implement for tissue regeneration. Several niches in adult human body are colonized by multipotent stem cells but access to these potential reservoirs is often limited. Although human dental pulp stem cells isolated from healthy teeth have been extensively characterized, it is still unknown whether stem cells also exist in reactive lesio...

Central giant cell granuloma is an uncommon benign intraosseus lesion of jaws. Traditional treatment has been local curettage, although aggressive sub-types have a high tendency to recur. This patient report describes a recurrent central giant cell granuloma involving the body of the mandible in a 48-year-old-woman. Initial treatment of lesion consisted of curettage and peripheral ostectomy. Wh...
