Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma Associated With Severe Periodontal Destruction in the Esthetic Region: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive lesion typically confined to the gingiva or alveolar mucosa and is generally regarded as a soft tissue entity. Although superficial bone involvement has occasionally been described, extensive periodontal destruction is not consistently observed. This report describes a case of PGCG occurring in the maxillary anterior region in association with advanced periodontal bone loss. A 37-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging, asymptomatic swelling between Teeth #11 and #12 of 3 months' duration. Clinical examination revealed a pedunculated, purple-red mass measuring approximately 14 × 11 mm. Periodontal assessment demonstrated Stage III, Grade C periodontitis with deep probing depths extending toward the apical third of the roots and Grade III mobility of the involved teeth. Radiographic evaluation showed advanced horizontal bone loss and a pronounced interdental periodontal defect. The lesion was completely excised with adequate margins, and due to extensive periodontal support loss, Teeth #11 and #12 were extracted during the same surgical procedure. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of PGCG. Healing was uneventful, and no clinical signs of recurrence were observed at 1-month follow-up. This case highlights that PGCG may coexist with advanced periodontal destruction in natural dentition and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive periodontal evaluation and complete surgical excision to minimize recurrence risk.
