[Side effects of the immunsuppressive cyclosporin A in dentistry].

Abstract

31 renal transplant patients with Cyclosporin-A-Medication were dental discussed. Half of the patients showed gingival hyperplasia in the anterior region of the maxilla after different time of medication. A relation between gingival hyperplasia, age and sex could'nt be seen. Two stomatitis were presented. The oral hygiene and the parodontal statement before the transplantation influenced the formation of gingival hyperplasia. At time it seems, that Nifedipin has no influence on the formation of gingival hyperplasia. We recommend a extensive research with a long list of patients. A patient with a voluminous hyperplasia was discussed.
