Abstrakt: Pyogenic granuloma is a prevalent non-neoplastic reactive lesion in the oral cavity. The gingiva is the most common area affected by PG, consisting of 75% of the cases. PG might be treated by conservative excision. In addition, the local factor of irritation or the trauma source should be eliminated to minimize the risk of recurrence. Despite such treatment modalities, recurrence is not uncommon and a recurrence rate of 16% has been reported after excision. Gingival cases exhibit a high rate of recurrence compared to other areas of the oral cavity. The aim of this article was to report our experience in relation to the treatment of a recurring case of PG, which recurred rapidly 3 times after surgical excision, non-surgically through a strict periodontal supportive care program and review the literature in this field.
