Abstract

Gingival overgrowth can be adverse reaction of calcium channel blockers. Although nifedipine is commonly associated with this process, some case reports have also implicated amlodipine as a possible etiology. Here we present a case of a 59-yearold Pakistani female who developed gingival hyperplasia secondary to amlodipine use. We believe that the knowledge about amlodipine-associated gingival hyperplasia is necessary for dentists, so they can accurately diagnose this condition and provide appropriate management. KEYWORDS: Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO), gingival hyperplasia, amlodipine
氨氯地平相关牙龈增生1例报告及文献复习
钙通道阻滞剂可引起牙龈过度生长。虽然硝苯地平通常与这一过程有关,但一些病例报告也暗示氨氯地平可能是病因。在这里,我们提出一个59岁的巴基斯坦女性谁发展牙龈增生继发氨氯地平使用。我们认为,了解氨氯地平相关的牙龈增生对牙医来说是必要的,这样他们才能准确地诊断这种情况并提供适当的治疗。关键词:药物性牙龈过度生长(DIGO),牙龈增生,氨氯地平
