title: A case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma.
abstract: Dental practitioners are usually the first health professionals to examine and diagnose patients with oral pyogenic granuloma. Usually of traumatic origin, the lesion results from an overly aggressive immune response. Despite several accepted methods of treatment, recurrence is common. This paper reports on a case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma and reviews the relevant literature.
