Gingival Enlargement

Gingival overgrowth is a major and frequent unwanted effect accompanying the chronic usage of antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, and immunosuppressant drugs. The expression and the severity of this tissue-specific condition are influenced by a variety of factors, mainly drug and periodontal variables. Such increased volume of gingiva may compromise normal oral functions, aesthetics in addition to the patients’ ability to practice optimal oral hygiene. The management of gingival overgrowth includes nonsurgical approach, surgical approach, or both of them for severe cases of gingival overgrowth as well as drug withdrawal. This case report illustrates a successful nonsurgical management of a 21-year-old patient with cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth who experienced a total regression of the gingival enlargement without any surgical procedure or drug substitution. And it highlights therefore the key role of supportive periodontal therapy in maintaining good and stable outcomes over 2 years of follow-up.

Oral Hygiene Practice

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth is frequently associated with three particular drugs: phenytoin, cyclosporin, and nifedipine. As gingival enlargement develops, it affects the normal oral hygiene practice and may interfere with masticatory functions. The awareness in the medical community about this possible side effect of nifedipine is less when compared to the effects of phenytoin and cyclosporin. The frequency of gingival enlargement associated with chronic nifedipine therapy remains controversial. Within the group of patients that develop this unwanted effect, there appears to be variability in the extent and severity of the gingival changes. Although gingival inflammation is considered a primary requisite in their development, few cases with minimal or no plaque induced gingival inflammation have also been reported. A case report of gingival overgrowth induced by nifedipine in a patient with good oral hygiene and its nonsurgical management with drug substitution is discussed in this case report.

Detailed Assessment

Gingival overgrowth is the enlargement of gingival tissues and has various underlying aetiological factors. This case report highlights the multifactorial aetiology of gingival overgrowth for a patient who was prescribed an immunosuppressive strategy following renal transplantation, had poor levels of oral hygiene and a diet deficient in fruit and vegetables. The report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to identify all underlying factors and demonstrates how a referral to the specialist services for gingival overgrowth led to a diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution without any surgical intervention. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to diagnose all relevant underlying aetiological factors involved in the development of gingival overgrowth. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution of gingival overgrowth without any surgical intervention.

Gingival Overgrowth

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic autoimmune disease that involves multi organs. Genetic, endocrine, immunological, and environmental factors influence the loss of immunological tolerance against self-antigens leading to the formation of pathogenic autoantibodies that cause tissue damage through multiple mechanisms. The gingival overgrowth can be caused by three factors: noninflammatory, hyperplastic reaction to the medication; chronic inflammatory hyperplasia; or a combined enlargement due to chronic inflammation and drug-induced hyperplasia. Drug-Induced Gingival Overgrowth is associated with the use of three major classes of drugs, namely anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and immunosuppressants. Due to recent indications for these drugs, their use continues to grow.
