Drug-Induced gingival overgrowth: The genetic dimension
North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014 Currently, the etiology of drug-induced gingival overgrowth is not entirely understood but is clearly multifactorial. Phenytoin, one of the common drugs implicated in gingival enlargement, is metabolized mainly by cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and partly by CYP2C19.

Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...

Peri‐Implantitis and Periodontitis: Biological Convergence, Contextual Divergence
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Periodontal and peri‐implant tissues differ and coincide in many aspects, from the clinical and radiological perspective, including histology, microbiology, and molecular markers. Thus, health and disease may also follow different and similar routes.

Case Reports in Dentistry, 2013 Gingival overgrowth/hyperplasia can be attributed to several causes, but drug-induced gingival overgrowth/hyperplasia arises secondarily to prolonged use of antihypertensive drugs, anticonvulsants and immunosuppressants.

Gingival fibroma versus verrucous leukoplakia – A clinical dilemma!!!
Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2016 Gingival overgrowths found in the oral cavity are mostly due to reactive hyperplasia and rarely depict neoplastic nature. It is a challenge for the clinician to give final diagnoses of gingival overgrowth.

CCN2: A potential contributor to gingival overgrowth
Journal of Oral BiosciencesFibrotic responses in the gingiva are characterized by their hyperproliferative nature instead of scar tissue formation. Clinically, these conditions appear as "gingival overgrowth" (GO), which can be of drug-induced or genetic origin. Despite surgical removal, GO can recur. Therefore, non-invasive methods of treating GO are required. In other fibrotic

Crevicular fluid levels of TGFβ1 in drug-induced gingival overgrowth
, 2004 OBJECTIVE: To determine if local, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of TGFbeta1 were altered in drug-induced gingival overgrowth. Patients and methods: GCF samples were collected on Periopaper strips from 45 renal transplant recipients who had been ...

A rare case of accelerated gingival overgrowth with high dose amlodipine therapy
, 2021 Gingival overgrowth represents an over-exuberant response to a variety of local and systemic conditions. Certain anticonvulsants, immunosuppressive drugs, and a number of calcium channel blockers have been shown to produce similar gingival overgrowth in ...

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Resveratrol in repeated doses has been shown to suppress excessive cell proliferation without cytotoxic effects in amlodipine‐induced gingival hyperplasia, while not having a negative effect on mediators involved in tissue homeostasis in healthy cells, and at the same time, it reduces the expression of biomarkers involved in fibrosis processes ...

Cyclosporine-A Induced Gingival Overgrowth
, 2006 Background. The link between the gingival overgrowth and cyclosporine pharmacokinetical variables, especially cyclosporine doses which appear to act as stimulator of the gingival proliferative changes, presents a field of interest of large number of ...
