Differences between granuloma and granulation tissue?
Granulation tissue is characterised by the presence of new blood vessels, fibroblasts and mononuclear cells in an edemateous extracellular matrix. A granuloma is a specific form of chronic inflammation characterised by the prescence of epitheloid macrophages and giant cells (either foreign body giant cells or Langerhaan giant cells) surrounded by a collar of fibroblasts and lymphocytes. Central necrosis may or may not be present.
What is the treatment for granuloma?
Granulation tissue is a kind of tissue generated in a healing wound to both break down damaged tissue and to help prevent infection, however, sometimes growth of granulation tissue can be too robust. An excess of granulation tissue is informally known in the medical community as "proud flesh". Depending on the specifics of your case, a treating physician may apply a fine layer of silver nitrate to the excess tissue. This, in effect, cauterizes the granulation tissue (though the process is reportedly painless) and allows new healthy cell growth above that layer of flesh.
What is pyogenic granuloma?
Pyogenic granuloma, pregnancy granulomas or pregnancy tumors are single, tumor-like, soft tissue growths typically seen on the gums region between teeth and they rarely destroy the bone. They are attached via a stem with intense red to deep purple color, depending on the blood supply of the lesion and the degree of blood stagnation.Usually no larger than 2 cm, the granulomas are painless and may bleed readily if disturbed. They usually regress after delivery and are often related to poor oral hygiene. Furthermore pregnancy graunulomas are attributed to the general effects of progesterone and estrogen on the host immune system.http://www.intelligentdental.com/2010/02/09/changes-in-your-mouth-during-pregnancy/
What happens when non absorbable sutures are not completely removed?
By my own experience with non absorbable sutures that were left embedded in my thumb (even my Doctor couldn't get the out), The body will eventually push them to the surface of the skin where they can be removed. In my case, the sutures were so tight that they deeply embedded in my flesh. It took 4 months for them to surface before I could remove the one and one half inches of suture material that the Doctor could not remove. Overall, no harm done, but I was very uncomfortable until they came out.
