The pure pregnancy epulis is mostly vascular, and generally shrinks or disappears with the drop in estrogen levels following delivery. However, the fibrous epulis or granulomatous epulis may enlarge rapidly in the early stages of pregnancy, necessitating surgical resection after pregnancy. This report described a 25-year-old patient with a post-term pregnancy. She had a lump on the buccal side of left mandibular molar region that was associated with intermittent hemorrhage and eating difficulty. Since the patient feared the conventional surgery, the 980-nm diode laser excision was performed to remove the epulis two weeks after delivery, with the involved teeth preserved. The new technique of 980-nm diode semiconductor laser may be a potential good option to treat pregnancy epulis, with less discomfort and involved teeth preserved.
纯妊娠性龈瘤大多为血管性，通常在分娩后随着雌激素水平下降而缩小或消失。然而，纤维性龈瘤或肉芽肿性龈瘤在妊娠早期可能迅速增大，需要在产后进行手术切除。本报告描述了一名25岁过期妊娠患者。她左下颌磨牙区颊侧有一肿物，伴有间歇性出血和进食困难。由于患者惧怕传统手术，在分娩两周后采用980纳米二极管激光切除术切除龈瘤，保留患牙。980纳米二极管半导体激光新技术可能是治疗妊娠性龈瘤的一个潜在的良好选择，不适较少且可保留患牙。
