Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry. 1999 Sep; 17(3): 93-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/114955Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a lesion arising mainly from the connective tissue of gingiva or periosteum of alveolar ridge. A case of peripheral giant cell granuloma involving a deciduous molar and the succedaneous tooth is reported. The lesion was large and interfered with occlusion. Surgical excision of the lesion along with the deciduous first molar was done. The underlying permanent first premolar was also involved, and had to be removed. The importance of an adequate salivary flow and maintenance of oral hygiene in the prevention of such lesions is stressed.engBicuspid --physiopathologyChildFemaleGingival Diseases --etiologyGranuloma, Giant Cell --etiologyHumansMandibleMolar --physiopathologyPeriapical Granuloma --etiologyTooth, Impacted --complicationsCase Reports
