The pathogenesis of drug‐induced gingival overgrowth

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1996
Abstract Gingival overgrowth is a well‐documented unwanted effect, associated with phenytoin, cyclosporin. and the calcium channel blockers.

Gingival overgrowth and drug association

Journal of Academy of Medical Sciences, 2012
Drugs used locally or systemically induce several micro- and macroscopic tissue alterations. However, nearly 20 drugs have been reported so far in the literature, having association with the gingival enlargement. Many systemic diseases have their limited therapeutic options and such drugs or their metabolites have adverse influence on different systems/
