  • Title: Pulse granuloma as a complication following dental trauma in children.
    Author: Padmanabhan MY, Aparna R, Karthikeyani S, Dinakar J, Manickaraj M.
    Journal: J Dent Child (Chic); 2013; 80(3):121-5. PubMed ID: 24351692.
    Abstract:
    Contamination and subsequent retention of foreign bodies within wound surfaces may negatively influence healing following maxillofacial injuries. Larger foreign bodies that produce embedded or impalement injuries of soft tissues are easily detected. However, smaller contaminants, such as sand, gravel, food particles, wood splinters, and glass fibers, may not be easily identified in the initial examination, and their remnants may remain within the injury site even after debridement. Tissue reactions depend on the host response, type of foreign body, and nature of the wound surface. The purposes of this report are to: (1) detail the diagnosis and management of a peripheral pulse granuloma following retention of food particles within gingival sulci during a dental injury; and (2) provide a brief review of the diagnosis of foreign body-induced granulomas following maxillofacial injuries in children.
