  • Title: Pyogenic granuloma: case report in a 9-year-old girl.
    Author: Ramirez K, Bruce G, Carpenter W.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2002; 50(3):280-1. PubMed ID: 12116517.
    Abstract:
    Based on clinical features alone, pyogenic granuloma can be difficult to differentiate from a peripheral giant cell granuloma, a more aggressive oral lesion that could have consequences such as teeth displacement and alveolar bone resorption. A thorough clinical and radiographic examination is important to determine whether teeth and/or bone are involved. Furthermore, the early onset of puberty in females may increase the prevalence of pyogenic granuloma at a young age.
