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.

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.
Can pseudomonas aeruginosa produce endospores?
No, Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram positive facultative anaerobe. It has a cell wall surrounding a peptidoglycan layer, however does not produce an endospore like many other gram positive bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus is a cocci shaped bacteria with pyogenic properties.
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.

Can pyogenic granuloma be treated without surgery?
. My nephew had a pyogenic granuloma on his finger which grew rather large and bled profusely. His doctor told him it would not go away without surgery. He lived with it for about two months [keeping it covered due to bleeding and to prevent infection.] Then all the sudden it began to shrink... within two weeks it disappeared. It has not grown back. .
Is pyogenic granuloma dangerous?
If you are otherwise healthy, a pyogenic granuloma in the mouth is not particularly dangerous. It is simply a localized area of acute inflammation in the gum tissue with highly vascular (lots of blood vessels) exuberant tissue growth as a defense mechanism. Once the source of the infection has been removed, the inflammation will be resolved. Sometimes a minor surgery needs to be performed to remove the benign tumor.
