Cyclosporine and gingival overgrowth

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 1987

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.

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.

Nitrendipine–Induced Gingival Overgrowth in Dogs

Journal of Periodontology, 1989
This study assessed the development of gingival overgrowth in dogs given nitrendipine, a new antihypertensive dihydropyridine. Nine male Beagle dogs with established plaque and gingivitis were used. Following a baseline examination, which involved assessment of plaque, gingivitis, and gingival enlargement, six dogs (test) received nitrendipine twice ...

Iatrogenic Gingival Overgrowth in Cardiac Transplantation

Journal of Periodontology, 1995
It is well established that both cyclosporin and nifedipine are associated with gingival overgrowth. Although both drugs are widely used in the management of organ transplant patients, there is little information on the prevalence and severity of this unwanted effect in cardiac transplant patients. This study evaluated the gingival health of 94 dentate

Cyclosporin‐induced gingival overgrowth in children

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2005
SummaryCyclosporin is a potent immunosuppressant drug commonly used to prevent organ transplant rejection. In recent years, there has been a widening of its therapeutic use and an increase in the number of patients undergoing transplantation. Gingival overgrowth is one of several oral side‐effects of cyclosporin, with a quoted prevalence of between 8 ...
