Oral Pyogenic Granuloma Associated with Dental Implants

Key Points

To explore the association between oral pyogenic granuloma and dental implants, focusing on its implications for implant stability.
Case report detailing the occurrence of pyogenic granuloma after dental implant placement.
Observation of clinical symptoms and tissue response one month post-implant surgery.
Extensive dissemination of pyogenic granuloma observed in the right mandible after one month.
Significant bone loss noted, contributing to possible implant failure.

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a non-neoplastic reactive lesion that occurs as a result of the response of soft tissue to various stimuli and local trauma. This lesion, which has a relatively high incidence in the oral region, is rarely associated with dental implants and when it occurs adjacent to the implant, it can cause bone loss and lead to implant failure. The most common sites for the PG are the skin and oral cavity. Approximately 75% of oral PGs are located in the gingiva, but can also be observed on the lips, tongue and buccal mucosa. PGs are commonly asymptomatic but typically show bleeding after minor trauma. This paper describes a case of PG with extensive dissemination in the right mandible after one month of dental implant placement.Keywords: Bone loss, dental implants, pyogenic granuloma
