Angiogenesis is vital in the aetiology and pathogenesis of a number of pathological processes that include solid reactive lesions like pyogenic granuloma and chronic inflammatory disorders like periapical granuloma. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a potent proangiogenic cytokine secreted by many cell types which present several pivotal functions in physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis.
