title: Management of central giant cell granuloma: discussion of two cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is an uncommon benign lesion of the jaws. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults, and may cause local destruction of bone and displacement of teeth.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two case reports are presented illustrating the joint management of children with this condition by paediatric dentistry and maxillofacial surgery teams.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The role of the paediatric dental team is extensive in children with CGCG and coordination of care from both teams is essential to ensure that the highest quality of care is provided.
