Pyogenic granuloma is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity considered to be non-neoplastic in nature. They usually present as a reactive lesion occur in response to chronic and recurring tissue injury, in which capillaries are very prominent commonly seen arising from interdental gingiva. Pyogenic granuloma may occur in all ages, with a peak age of incidence in the second decade of life, more common in young adult females, possibly because of vascular effects of female hormones.
Oral PG can be treated by conservative excision. Local irritants or the source of trauma must be eliminated to minimize the risk of recurrence. Although, surgical excision is considered a simple procedure, it might be complicated by several complications such as intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative infection that might delay the healing of the wound. Other treatment modalities such as laser, injection of sclerosing agents have been used.
Laser has proven to be an effective therapy for oral soft tissue pathologies. Moreover, its ability to perform precise incisions, better hemostasias, and less invasive procedures with less discomfort to patients have made it a preferred treatment option for several soft tissue lesions.
Sclerotherapy has been proposed as an effective method of treatment for pyogenic granuloma. Their mechanism of action is endothelial injury, inflammation, thrombosis, fibrosis, and final lesion destruction. Polidocanol is a widely used nonionic detergent sclerosant that was first developed as an anesthetic. It acts through endothelial overhydration, vascular injury, and closure.

|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1: Laser-treated group | Active Comparator | 10 patients will be treated by laser surgery to remove oral granuloma |
|
| Sclerotherapy-treated group (group 2) | Active Comparator | This group was made up of ten patients who were treated with injections of sclerosing agent to remove pyogenic granuloma |

| laser therapy | Device | Laser-treated group (test group): This group consisted of ten patients treated using diode lasers. The diode laser was operated in continuous wave mode with an output power of 3 W in contact mode to excise the pyogenic granuloma. The tip was moved around the base of the lesion in circles. The base of the lesion was cut precisely till the whole mass was entirely excised. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative pain was evaluated (NRS) | Postoperative pain intensity will be perceived on the 2nd and 7th days using the ten-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) interpreted as 0 grade (No pain), 1-3 grade (mild pain), 4-6 grade (moderate pain) and 7-10 grade (severe pain) | 3 months |
| Recurrence rate | Patients will be recalled monthly for 3 months after the end of treatment to evaluate if recurrent occur or not. | 3 months |
| Patient compliance (VAS). | compliance of patients will be assessed on a scale from 1 to 10 | 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Details of side effects | details of any side effect as bleeding, oedema, necrosis, infection after the procedure. | 1 week |

| Sclerotherapy | Drug | Sclerotherapy-treated group (control group): This group consisted of ten patients treated with injections of sclerosing agent. After anaesthetizing the surgical site with a local anesthetic agent, The lesion was injected with a 2.5% concentration until it leaked out from the surface, leading to necrosis and spontaneous detachment of the lesion. |
