Cyclosporine, substituted Dihydropyridines and Phenytoin are three drugs that are often correlated with gingival overgrowth. Differences in incidence and histology are reviewed. Due to the large range of illnesses for which these drugs are prescribed, we can only anticipate a high increase in the number of patients who seek treatment for their enlarged gums. Contemporary treatment modalities are changing towards increased usage of these pharmaceutics which will lead to a high frequency of patients which have drug induced alterations of their gingival structures. The dental practitioners will also need to be consulted prior to drug treatment so that preventive measures can be taken. Treatment of gingival overgrowth is discussed.
环孢素、取代二氢吡啶类药物和苯妥英钠是三种常与牙龈增生相关的药物。本文综述了它们在发病率和组织学上的差异。由于这些药物所治疗的疾病范围广泛，我们只能预期寻求牙龈肿大治疗的患者数量会大幅增加。当代治疗方式正朝着更多使用这些药物的方向转变，这将导致药物引起牙龈结构改变的患者频率升高。在进行药物治疗之前也需要咨询牙科医生，以便采取预防措施。本文还讨论了牙龈增生的治疗方法。
