Peripheral Giant-cell Granuloma Associated with Peri-implant Tissues

Giant-cell granulomas (GCG) of the jaws are benign reactive lesions of unknown etiology, unrelated to giant-cell tumors (osteoclastomas), which are defined as benign but locally destructive and aggressive neoplasms (Jundt and coworkers 2005). Depending on their localization at the initial diagnosis, GCG are dived into central (CGCG) and peripheral (PGCG) types. CGCGs occur within the jawbones and appear as unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesions. The incidence in the general population is very low. They are more commonly found in the mandible, mainly in children and young adults—patients are generally younger than 30 years—and have a greater incidence in females (Heithersay and coworkers 2002). The clinical behavior of CGCGs varies from slowly growing asymptomatic swellings to aggressive lesions that may result in pain, cortical perforation of the affected jaw site, and root resorption (de Lange and coworkers 2007).

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
