Tuberous Sclerosis With Gingival Overgrowth

Journal of Periodontology, 1992
A case of tuberous sclerosis with gingival overgrowth is presented. A brief literature review and diagnostic criteria of tuberous sclerosis are discussed. The patient had a fullmouth gingivectomy with frequent post‐operative maintenance visits. After 6 months, the overgrowth in conjunction with the tuberous sclerosis returned.

Amlodipine‐induced gingival overgrowth

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1994
Abstract Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used in the management of angina and hypertension. We report 3 cases of gingival overgrowth in adult dentate patients associated with chronic usage of this drug. Gingival changes occurred within 3 months of dosage and appeared to be compounded by the patient's existing periodontal condition.

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1993
Certain anticonvulsants, cyclosporine, and a variety of calcium channel blockers have been shown to produce clinically and histologically similar gingival enlargements in certain susceptible patients. These drugs appear to be similar with respect to their pharmacologic mechanism of action at the cellular level.

Cyclosporine‐induced gingival overgrowth—Review

Dermatologic Therapy, 2022
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is an undesirable effect resulting from the therapy of one of the three groups of drugs: phenytoin, calcium channel blockers, and cyclosporine A (CsA). It is caused by a fibrous overgrowth leading to gingivitis, periodontitis, and even tooth loss.

Vigabatrin‐induced gingival overgrowth

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1997
Abstract Vigabatrin is a relatively new medication used in the treatment of epilepsia. The present report concerns the use of vigabatrin by a 19‐year‐old woman. The patient manifested marked gingival overgrowth compatible clinically and histologically with the overgrowth induced by phenytoin, cyclosporine and calcium channel blockers.

Cyclosporine and gingival overgrowth

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 1987
A case of cyclosporine‐induced gingival overgrowth is presented. Overgrown and inflamed gingivae were noted at several sites in the mouth of a patient taking Cyclosporine following a renal transplant. These were associated with areas adjacent to heavy plaque and calculus deposits on the teeth.

Gingival overgrowth secondary to amlodipine

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2009
A 66-year-old Asian woman attended for optimization of blood pressure control. Prescribed medication included atenolol (50 mg once daily), bendrofluazide (2.5 mg once daily) and amlodipine (5 mg once daily). She complained of gingival overgrowth, occurring several months after starting amlodipine (Figure 1).

Photographic scoring of gingival overgrowth

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2001
AbstractBackground: A wide range of methods have been employed to determine the severity of gingival overgrowth resulting in uncertainty regarding the prevalence of the side‐effect. There is no simple, non‐invasive, objective, blind method for assessing gingival overgrowth.Aim: This article aims to describe a method which is suitable for use in large ...

Gingival sequestration of nifedipine in nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth

The Lancet, 1992
The mechanism of gingival overgrowth associated with long-term use of nifedipine and of other drugs that affect calcium homoeostasis, such as cyclosporin and phenytoin, is unknown. With an ultrasensitive assay, we measured the pharmacokinetics of nifedipine in plasma and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of nine patients receiving this drug for angina ...

Gingival overgrowth induced by cyclosporin A in rats

Archives of Oral Biology, 1990
Gingival overgrowth, which is one of the major side-effects of this immunosuppressive agent, was studied in specific pathogen-free Fischer rats fed diet No. 2000 containing 56% sucrose. Marked macroscopic overgrowth was noted in mandibular gingiva of all the rats fed this diet containing cyclosporin A.
