Gingival overgrowth secondary to amlodipine
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2009A 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).

Cyclosporine and gingival overgrowth
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 1987A 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.

Drug-Induced Gingival Overgrowth
2021Gingival enlargement is characterized by an increase in the volume of gingival tissues that can be aggravated by local factors. Many drugs are known to induce gingival overgrowth. Physiopathological mechanisms involved in this frequent complication have not yet been totally elucidated. Most often, this increase does not correspond to an increase in the

Iatrogenic Gingival Overgrowth in Cardiac Transplantation
Journal of Periodontology, 1995It 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

Nitrendipine–Induced Gingival Overgrowth in Dogs
Journal of Periodontology, 1989This 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 ...

Cyclosporin‐induced gingival overgrowth in children
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2005SummaryCyclosporin 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 ...

Gingival overgrowth: Part 2: management strategies
British Dental Journal, 2017The effective and predictable management of gingival overgrowth requires correct diagnosis and consideration of aetiological factors, as discussed in Part 1 (BDJ 2017; 222: 85-91). Initial management should involve cause-related therapy, which may resolve or reduce the lesion.

Gingival sequestration of nifedipine in nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth
The Lancet, 1992The 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 ...

Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth.
Acta neurologica Scandinavica, 2012Gingival overgrowth is a common adverse effect of therapy with Phenytoin, having important medical and cosmetic implications. Poor periodontal hygiene is an important risk factor for severity of Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO), which is a time-dependent process.
