ABSTRACT
Abstract: Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma is a non-neoplastic, tumor-like, reactive lesion occurring exclusively on gingiva/alveolar crest. It is thought to arise from the periodontal ligament or periosteum. Clinically, it bears resemblance to pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma and many other peripheral soft tissue lesions seen in the oral cavity, thereby making histopathology mandatory for the diagnosis of this lesion. The lesion although being relatively common still carries a lot of ambiguity. The ambiguity is in terms of its etiology, growth potential, biological behavior (recurrence), histogenesis of its cells as well as its treatment. The entity further holds significance because of its notorious behavior and its high tendency to recur. The present paper describes a case report on recurrent peripheral giant cell granuloma with a comprehensive insight of the literature on its clinical and histological aspects. Special attention has been given on the histogenesis of its cells and treatment of this lesion.
ABSTRACT
Successful placement of dental implant into fresh extraction socket in single rooted tooth region has been reported. In cases of immediate implant placement in the single rooted tooth, initial primary stability is important to achieve predictable outcome. It is also suggested that the implant should be placed into minimum of 3 mm of solid bone apical to extraction site. The single stage approach preserves site morphology by protecting and supporting existing hard and soft tissues. Clinical success appears to be attributed to several important features of the technique which will be discussed in this case report. In the case presented, clinical and radiographic findings after implant placement confirmed a satisfactory treatment result.
