To determine the correlation between pyogenic granuloma (PG) and pregnancy.
To assess if the clinical term

Main Methods:

Analysis of 42 epulides clinically diagnosed as pregnancy tumors.
Chi-square analysis comparing 32 pregnancy tumors with 757 epulides in women.
Evaluation of clinical and behavioral features of pregnancy tumors diagnosed as PGs.

Main Results:

A significant disproportion of PGs was found in pregnancy tumors compared to other epulides.
Peripheral ossifying fibromas and peripheral giant cell granulomas were within expected ranges.
