Intraoral examination revealed a reddish-purple nodule involving the attached vestibular gingiva around a machined surface dental implant that had been placed two years earlier in the mandibular left second premolar region (tooth #20). Another implant was also present in the mandibular left second molar region (18). The lesion was tender and bled easily upon tooth brushing. Radiographs showed an inadequate abutment angulation. The healing caps on the 1st and 2nd implants were loose and in contact with each other, not allowing optimal oral hygiene. An excisional biopsy of the mass resulted in the diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma. The implants were gently curetted and scaled followed by abrasive paste cleaning. At the last follow-up, three years later, there was no recurrence.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Key words: dental implants, peripheral giant cell granuloma, plaque control, recurrence, complications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors Bischof M., Nedir R., Lombardi T.
