This is a case report on two patients, 21 resp. 25 years old, who suffered from recurrent capillary hemangioma of the gingiva. Prior to surgical therapy the hygienic conditions were improved in several sessions with professional preventive treatment and oral hygiene instructions. Post-surgical treatment consisted of efficient plaque control and adequate three-monthly oral prophylaxis sessions. In both cases the hemangioma was not observed to recur up to 2 1/2 resp. 1 1/2 years later.
