A Case Report of Pregnancy Tumor and its Management Using the Sapphire Microsurgical Knife

Pregnancy is associated with hormonal changes that might induce periodontal diseases. A pregnancy tumor is a benign growth in the oral cavity. It appears as a painless sessile or pedunculated erythematous, exophytic, papular, or nodular lesion with a smooth or lobulated surface. Poor oral hygiene and elevated hormonal levels act as precipitating factors. Growth is usually visible after the third month of pregnancy. In this case, a 24-year-old pregnant woman had a localized gingival enlargement in the labial aspect of the mandibular anterior region that was surgically removed with a microsurgical sapphire knife.
