This article explores the use of an argon laser to treat severe drug-induced gingival overgrowth. The patient was being treated with phenytoin (Dilantin, Parke-Davis), cyclosporine and a calcium channel blocker. He had undergone a kidney transplantation and had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. He had severe gingival overgrowth, which prevented him from wearing his removable prostheses, and a superimposed Candida albicans infection. An argon laser was used to excise the gingival overgrowth so new maxillary and mandibular prostheses could be fabricated.
本文探讨了使用氩激光治疗严重药物性牙龈增生的情况。该患者正在接受苯妥英钠（地仑丁，帕克-戴维斯公司生产）、环孢素和一种钙通道阻滞剂的治疗。他接受过肾移植手术，患有胰岛素依赖型糖尿病。他有严重的牙龈增生，这使他无法佩戴可摘义齿，并且还伴有白色念珠菌感染。使用氩激光切除牙龈增生组织，以便制作新的上颌和下颌义齿。
