Gingival enlargements are mostly plaque-induced. Other than plaque, a few genetic conditions also cause enlargements of the gingiva. In recent years, there has been a notable rise in drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) linked to the increased use of medications for various systemic conditions. Commonly implicated drug classes include antihypertensives, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and calcium channel blockers. These medications can lead to gingival overgrowth, which adversely affects oral function, esthetics, and hygiene. In this paper, we report the case of a 47-year-old male patient with hypertension who experienced amlodipine-induced gingival enlargement. In this case report, laser was also incorporated into the treatment plan for the reduction of gingival growth.
牙龈增生大多由菌斑引起。除菌斑外，一些遗传疾病也会导致牙龈增生。近年来，由于用于各种全身性疾病的药物使用增加，药物性牙龈增生（DIGO）显著增多。常见的相关药物类别包括抗高血压药、抗惊厥药、免疫抑制剂和钙通道阻滞剂。这些药物会导致牙龈增生，对口腔功能、美观和卫生产生不利影响。在本文中，我们报告了一名47岁男性高血压患者出现氨氯地平引起的牙龈增生的病例。在本病例报告中，激光也被纳入治疗方案以减少牙龈增生。
