  2. Granulation tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    Granulation tissue is composed of tissue matrix supporting a variety of cell types, [3] most of which can be associated with one of the following functions: formation of extracellular matrix; operation of the immune system; vascularisation; An excess of granulation tissue (caro luxurians) is informally referred to as hypergranulation or "proud ...

  3. Epulis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epulis

    When gingival hyperplasia is confined to one area of the jaw, this is when it is termed an epulis fibrosa, caused by an increase in collagenous tissue with varying cellularity. [12] It may be sessile or pedunculated and is composed of fibrosed granulation tissue. Fibrous epulides are firm and rubbery, and pale pink in color.

  4. Periapical periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_periodontitis

    A periapical granuloma (also referred to as an 'apical granuloma' or 'radicular granuloma') is a mass of chronically inflamed granulation tissue that forms at the apex of the root of a nonvital (dead) tooth. [12] (Although not a true granuloma, given the absence of granulomatous inflammation, the term 'periapical granuloma' is widely accepted ...

  5. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    The infected tissue of the periapical cyst must be entirely removed, including the epithelium of the cyst wall; otherwise, a relapse is likely to occur. Root canal treatment should be performed on the tooth if it is determined that previous therapy was unsuccessful.

  6. Periapical granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_granuloma

    Periapical granuloma, [1] also sometimes referred to as a radicular granuloma or apical granuloma, is an inflammation at the tip of a dead (nonvital) tooth. It is a lesion or mass that typically starts out as an epithelial lined cyst, and undergoes an inward curvature that results in inflammation of granulation tissue at the root tips of a dead tooth.

  7. Pyogenic granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyogenic_granuloma

    The microscopic appearance of a pyogenic granuloma consists of highly vascular granulation tissue. Inflammation is present. The lesion may have a fibrous character if it is older, and the surface may have ulcerations. Pyogenic granulomas rarely occur in the conjunctiva, cornea, or connective tissue of the eye following minor local trauma.

  8. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

    In both cases, a resorbable material called "gelfoam" is typically placed in the extraction site to promote clotting and serve as a framework for granulation tissue to accumulate. Patients are typically provided with prescriptions for antibiotics that cover sinus bacterial flora , decongestants , and careful instructions to follow during the ...

  9. Pulp polyp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_polyp

    A pulp polyp, also known as chronic hyperplastic pulpitis, is a "productive" (i.e., growing) inflammation of dental pulp in which the development of granulation tissue is seen in response to persistent, low-grade mechanical irritation and bacterial invasion of the pulp. [1] [2]
