Nonsurgical Management of Nifedipine Induced Gingival Overgrowth
Case Reports in Dentistry, 2014 Drug-induced gingival overgrowth is frequently associated with three particular drugs: phenytoin, cyclosporin, and nifedipine. As gingival enlargement develops, it affects the normal oral hygiene practice and may interfere with masticatory functions. The

CCN2: A potential contributor to gingival overgrowth
Journal of Oral BiosciencesFibrotic responses in the gingiva are characterized by their hyperproliferative nature instead of scar tissue formation. Clinically, these conditions appear as "gingival overgrowth" (GO), which can be of drug-induced or genetic origin. Despite surgical removal, GO can recur. Therefore, non-invasive methods of treating GO are required. In other fibrotic

The role of acquired host immunity in periodontal diseases
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract The aim of this narrative review is to relate the contribution of European researchers to the complex topic of the host immune system in periodontal disease, focusing on acquired immunity. Other chapters in this volume will address the genetics and autoantibody responses and other forms of immunity to periodontal disease.

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.

Drug-induced gingival hyperplasia: An in vitro study using amlodipine and human gingival fibroblasts
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2019 Gingival overgrowth is a serious side effect that accompanies the use of amlodipine. Several conflicting theories have been proposed to explain the fibroblast’s function in gingival overgrowth.

[Cyclosporin-A induced gingival overgrowth--strain differences in the rats].
Shoni shikagaku zasshi. The Japanese journal of pedodontics, 1991 Cyclosporin-A (CsA) which is an effective immunosuppressive agent to control the rejection of organ transplants causes gingival overgrowth as one of accompanying side effects. However, the mechanism of this particular gingival overgrowth still remains unclear.

Periodontal and orthodontic management of impacted canines
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the “cornerstone” of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well‐balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance.

Crevicular fluid levels of TGFβ1 in drug-induced gingival overgrowth
, 2004 OBJECTIVE: To determine if local, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of TGFbeta1 were altered in drug-induced gingival overgrowth. Patients and methods: GCF samples were collected on Periopaper strips from 45 renal transplant recipients who had been ...
