[Pathogenesis of cyclosporine induced gingival overgrowth].

Several studies, during the last 20 years, tried to explain the pathogenetic mechanisms of the cyclosporine (CS) induced gingival overgrowth (and in general, of the drugs induced gingival overgrowth), but they are still poorly understood. The relationship between the drug and the different pharmacokinetic variables (dosage, duration of therapy ...
