Minimally invasive treatment for drug induced gingival enlargement-case report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Antihypertensive drugs in the calcium channel blocker group are extensively used in elderly patients. Gingival enlargement associated with Nifedipine was first reported in 1980’s and is very rarely reported to be associated with Amlodipine and Felodipine. The mechanism through which these medications trigger a connective tissue response are still poorly understood. Gingival enlargements may adversely affect speech, mastication, tooth eruption, and esthetics. These enlargements can occur as a result of the administration of certain anticonvulsants, immune suppressants, and calcium channel blockers. Materials and methods: This case report with management of drug induced gingival enlargement has been treated by non-surgical periodontal therapy in step-wise manner; but on repeated visit have shown moderate resolution of the condition without withdrawal of drug.
