Pregnancy granuloma is most commonly located on which site?

• A. Gingival papilla
• B. Lateral incisor surface
• C. Palatal mucosa
• D. Tongue

Answer: (A)

Pregnancy granuloma occurs when hormonal changes during pregnancy boost vascular growth and inflammatory response in gingival tissues. It is most commonly found on the gingival papilla, especially in the anterior maxilla, where the tissue is highly vascular and more exposed to local irritants like plaque. This leads to a red, soft mass that often bleeds easily. Other sites such as the palate, tongue, or lateral surfaces of teeth are far less typical for this lesion.
