This case illustrates a nonspecific ulcer in an infant with a history of aerodigestive tract trauma, and the process of establishing a differential diagnosis.

New thinking in one of the driving etiologies for peri-implantitis — metallosis — is bringing about a profound shift in management strategies for peri-implant disease.

While the exact etiology is unknown, histological examination is needed to confirm a diagnosis of the reactive gingival overgrowth known as peripheral ossifying fibroma.
