These studies have potential clinical relevance to the tissue specificity of drug-induced gingivalovergrowth.
2
The HPV infection in oral cyclosporin-induced gingivalovergrowth in renal transplant recipients has not been investigated previously.
3
Drug-induced gingivalovergrowth is tissue specific.
4
Seventeen patients with cyclosporin-induced gingivalovergrowth and seventeen age- and sex-matched controls who were taking cyclosporin but had healthy gingiva were used for this study.
5
Methods: We examined 13 renal transplant recipient biopsies with gingivalovergrowth lesions and 4 healthy mucosa samples of these patients.
