It occurs in response to various stimuli such as chronic low grade irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors etc. It predominantly occurs in second decade of life in young females, possibly because of vascular effects of female hormones. Lesions have a similar frequency throughout the world. No racial predilection is reported. Clinically, pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base. Treatment consists of surgical excision along with eradicating the causative agents. Recurrence of the lesion can be prevented by complete excision of the lesion and by following proper oral hygiene measures by the patient. This article describes three cases which have been successfully managed and maintained.&#13;
