Granuloma Gravidarum at Unusual Site
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Granuloma gravidarum (GG) is an inflammatory lesion, which develops in the oral mucosa of pregnant women in response to chronic irritants of low degree such as bacterial biofilm, dental calculus and traumatic agents. Increased concentrations of estrogen and progesterone raises the levels of Prevotella intermedia in the subgingival biofilm, diminishes the host response to bacterial biofilm, increases vascular permeability, favors the infiltration of fluids into the perivascular tissues and enhances the inflammatory response, having an important role in the development of the lesion.
