Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a relatively common, soft tissue tumour of oral cavity that is believed to be reactive and not neoplastic in nature. It is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants. Here we present a case of PG in a pregnant female patient aged 26 yrs managed by surgical intervention using diode laser.
