Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma  is one of the  common gingival epulis  that occur as  inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity  which appears as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation, physical trauma or hormonal factors. The term  pyogenic granuloma is misleading as it is not a true granuloma. The treatment being surgical excision, recurrence occurs in 16% of the lesions. This case report describes a recurrent pyogenic granuloma in a 12 year old boy of 8months duration.

Keywords: Pyogenic Granuloma; Gingival Hyperplasia; Recurrent Epulis; Gingival Epulis.
