Treatment of Pyogenic Granuloma with a Sclerosing Agent
BACKGROUND Pyogenic granulomas have been treated by cryosurgery, curettage, electrodesiccation, chemical cauterization, and laser surgery. The therapeutic effects of these conservative treatments are limited, however. OBJECTIVE In this study, the efficacy of a sclerosing agent (monoethanolamine oleate) was evaluated for the treatment of pyogenic granuloma. METHODS Pyogenic granuloma was treated by local injection of the monoethanolamine oleate solution in nine patients who were from 1 to 57 years of age (median 18 years). The treatment effect was determined by physical examination. RESULTS All lesions were removed completely with no recurrence, and scars were inconspicuous in all cases. Complications occurred in only one patient who complained of pain due to an avoidable injection of excess solution. CONCLUSION Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate is effective in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma and offers an alternative to conventional methods in cases for which conservative treatment is preferable.
Treatment of Oral Granulation Tissue with the Flashlamp Pulsed Dye Laser
background. Surgical excision and debridement is the standard therapy for cutaneous and intraoral pyogenic granulomas (PGs). Occasionally the mass of granulation tissue proves unresponsive to the usual treatment methods. objective. We report a case in which the flashlamp pulsed dye laser (PDL), previously reported as useful in cutaneous PGs, was used in a patient with persistent granulation tissue around dental implant posts. methods. An illustrative case is presented with a brief discussion of the use of lasers in dentistry and in the treatment of PGs. results. Previously resolute tissue responded well to a series of treatments with the PDL. conclusion. The PDL may have utility in this oral condition, providing a new venue for cooperation between dentists and dermatologists.
