Pyogenic Granuloma - Non-Surgical Management by Ligation Therapy: A Case Series.

2016 
Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently seen tumour-like benign vascular growth of the oral cavity which is thought to be an exuberant tissue response to a local low-grade chronic irritation or minor trauma. Clinically the growth looks pink to red in colour, depending upon the age of the lesion, smooth or lobulated mass that is usually pedunculated. Treatment options include complete surgical excision, electrocautery, cryotherapy, sclerotherapy or laser surgery. The aim of this case series is to present an alternative non-surgical less invasive treatment option which has not been explored in dental literature to the best of our knowledge.
