RESUMO
Soft tissue swellings of the oral cavity frequently present a diagnostic challenge because a diverse group of pathologic processes can produce such lesions. Among these lesions are a group of reactive hyperplasia, which develop in response to a chronic, recurring tissue injury that stimulates an exuberant or excessive tissue repair response, and pyogenic granuloma is one of them. It is a reactional response to constant minor trauma or may be related to hormonal changes. It preferentially affects the gingiva followed by lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate. It is commonly seen in young adults. The treatment is excision of the lesion. This case report describes the clinical and histopathological features of a pyogenic granuloma, in a 20-year-old male patient.
RESUMO
Talon cusp is a very rare developmental anomaly, arising as a cusp like elevation on the lingual aspect of maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth, usually projects from the cemento-enamel junction or cingulum. It can involve single tooth, either primary or permanent dentition, usually unilateral in occurrence and seen bilaterally in 1/5th of the cases. It can result in a host of clinical problems like occlusal interference, irritation of the tongue, pulpal necrosis, caries, TMJ disorders and periodontal problems. The prevalence of multiple, bilateral talon cusp occurrence is rare, we report a case of Multiple Talon cusps involving all maxillary anterior teeth.
