Aspectos clínicos do granuloma piogênico – revisão De literatura

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic tumor of small proportions. It is found in the soft tissues of the oral cavity, such as the tongue, oral mucosa, and gums. The aim of this review was to discuss the pathology in question to assist the dentist in the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. To carry out this study, seven scientific articles and six academic books were used, totaling thirteen sources, collected through the Unicesumar digital library databases. Diagnosed by performing an excisional biopsy, which can also be considered as the treatment of the lesion, when there is no recurrence, this benign lesion can be treated in a way that does not bother the patient any longer, generating comfort and a reduction in fear of malignant lesions. The pyogenic granuloma may present with different clinical manifestations, in addition to varying symptoms among patients. It can have different colors and shapes, depending on the systemic conditions of the individuals. The factor that can trigger the injury is also an important factor to be considered in this type of pathologies, such as poorly fitted dentures, poor hygiene, and trauma during brushing
