Résumé
A 31-year-old man presented with gingival mass-like lesions. The patient reported occasional bleeding from lesions; otherwise, the lesions were asymptomatic. Intraoral examination revealed multiple interdental red/purple soft, sessile, nodular lesions involving both the maxillary and mandibular buccal and lingual gingivae, with poor oral hygiene. After performing incisional biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma. Subsequently, the patient underwent cleaning of his teeth and within only 3 days of dental cleaning, the patient reported rapid regression of all his lesions.
