Abstract :Calcium channel blockers used in hypertension patients, immunosuppressants used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients, and anticonvulsants used in epilepsy patients are the three main groups of drugs known to cause drug-induced gingival overgrowth. Drug-induced gingival overgrowth can be controlled through elimination of local factors, mechanical and chemical plaque control, good oral hygiene, and ending medication or replacing it with another drug. This case reveals the pre-treatment and post-treatment clinical status of a patient who was admitted to our clinic with gingival overgrowth complaint due to the use of amplodipine for a long time due to hypertension. In this case, adequate improvement in the gingival tissue was achieved by surgical procedures conducted on the overgrown gingival tissues and careful plaque control.
Keywords : Gingival overgrowth, calcium channel blockers, antıhypertensive drugs
