Amlodipine induced Gingival Overgrowth

Journal of Nepalese Society of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, 2018
Gingival overgrowth caused by drug is a well-documented unwanted side effect and mostly caused by Nifedipine. Newer generation calcium channel blocker, amlodipine, has been used with the increasing frequency to overcome the adverse effect of first and second generation dihydropyridine derivatives of Calcium Chanel Blocker.

Calcium Channel Blocker Induced Gingival Overgrowth [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2002
Gingival overgrowth occurs with phenytoin, cyclosporin, and calcium antagonists. It can be disfiguring and painful. The prevalence of gingival overgrowth with the use of calcium antagonists may be as high as 38%. The prevalence with nifedipine may be greater than with other calcium blockers.

Immunohistological Evaluation of Peri‐Implant Soft Tissue Grafting Using a Porcine Dermal Matrix—A Human Histological Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The aim was the immunohistological evaluation of a porcine dermal matrix (PDM) in comparison to a non‐augmented control group for peri‐implant tissue thickening. Materials and Methods This human histological study involved the placement of PDM in the test group (20 patients) during implant placement, while the control group ...

Curcumin inhibits TGF-β1-induced connective tissue growth factor expression through the interruption of Smad2 signaling in human gingival fibroblasts

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2018
Background/Purpose: Many fibrotic processes are associated with an increased level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). TGF-β1 can increase synthesis of matrix proteins and enhance secretion of protease inhibitors, resulting in matrix accumulation.

In vitro testing the potential of a novel chimeric IgG variant for inhibiting collagen fibrils formation in recurrent hereditary gingival fibromatosis: chimeric antibody in a gingival model [PDF]

, 2014
Gingival fibromatosis is a progressive enlargement of the gingiva. It may hinder oral cavity hygiene and result in underlying bone loss. The long-term benefits of surgery cannot be predicted.

FAM20A Deficiency Drives Transcriptomic Dysregulation and Functional Impairment in Gingival Fibroblasts

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
FAM20A variants cause AI1G, marked by enamel defects, gingival overgrowth and ectopic calcifications. RNA sequencing of patient‐derived gingival fibroblasts showed dysregulated genes in adhesion, proliferation and signalling pathways. Functional assays revealed increased cell proliferation, impaired ECM interactions and osteogenesis, suggesting FAM20A ...

Soluble Sema4D From γδ T Cells Exerts Osteoblast Inhibition via Plexin‐B/mTOR Signalling Contributing to Pathogenesis of Bisphosphonate‐Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Schematic summarizing the pathway of sSema4D from γδ T cells inhibiting osteoblast differentiation in BRONJ. ABSTRACT Bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a severe complication in patients undergoing long‐term bisphosphonate therapy, while our knowledge on the pathogenesis of BRONJ is far from sufficient.

S100A8 calcium-binding expression in radicular and dentigerous cysts and in keratocystic odontogenic tumors [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: Recently the term Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) has been recommended for Odontogenic Keratocysts (OKC) to address the neoplastic nature of the lesion compared to radicular and dentigerous cysts.
