Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. It can occur at any age. The hypothetic etiologies include trauma, viral or hormonal factors. Gingiva is the most common site affected followed by buccal mucosa, tongue and lips. Pyogenic granuloma in general, does not occur when excised along with the base and its causative factors. The diode laser is our treatment of choice for pyogenic granuloma as it provides less bleeding than the other modalities.
