Clinical case report: capillary hemangioma

Gen Dent. 2005 Mar-Apr;53(2):120-1.

Abstract

This article reviews a case involving a patient with multiple hopeless dentition, massive gingival hyperplasia, and a vascular lesion. The hopeless dentition was extracted, exophytic hyperplastic tissue was removed, and the lesion was involuted following surgical intervention. The patient's occlusion subsequently was restored with a partial denture. Patients with multiple pathologies require careful evaluation to determine the level of care and sequence of treatment that is required.
