title: Oral foreign body granuloma: unusual presentation of a rare adverse reaction to permanent injectable cosmetic filler.
abstract: A variety of injectable permanent fillers have been used in orofacial tissues for cosmetic purposes. Most of these substances seem to be well tolerated but adverse reactions have been reported. Foreign body granulomas are a rare adverse reaction to injectable permanent fillers. The authors report the unusual case of a 56-year-old woman with a foreign body granuloma located exclusively in the oral cavity that was due to injection of a permanent filler.
