The development during pregnancy of pyogenic granulomas superimposed upon a congenital hemangioma: a case report

B Tervahartiala et al. J Periodontol. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

A case of a 25-year old female school teacher with pyogenic granulomas of the gingiva developing during her first pregnancy in the area of a congenital hemangioma is described. The recurrence of the pyogenic granulomas of the gingiva during the second pregnancy could be successfully prevented by scaling and root planing prior to and bi-weekly professional tooth cleaning during pregnancy period. Hormonal changes during pregnancy were in this case found not to influence the development of gingival pyogenic granulomas during maintenance of optimal dental hygiene.
