PG is a non-neoplastic reactive lesion that occurs as a result of the response of soft tissue to various stimuli and local trauma. This lesion, which has a relatively high incidence in the oral region, is rarely associated with dental implants and when it occurs adjacent to the implant, it can cause bone loss and lead to implant failure. The most common sites for the PG are the skin and oral cavity. Approximately 75% of oral PGs are located in the gingiva, but can also be observed on the lips, tongue and buccal mucosa. PGs are commonly asymptomatic but typically show bleeding after minor trauma.
This paper describes a case of PG with extensive dissemination in the right mandible after 1 month of dental implant placement.
