Core Tip
Core tip: This report describes an aggressive variety of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) after extraction which raises a question; can extraction of tooth modify the behavior of CGCG? The importance of radiographic examination prior to extraction of teeth and importance of inclusion of CGCG in jaw swellings associated with mobility of teeth or failure of healing sockets is emphasized. Literature about clarity in clinical behavior, radiographic features and various treatment modalities of this one of the bony lesion of jaws are reviewed.
