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.
1
Gingivalenlargements are frequently encountered in dental practice.
2
The exact diagnosis of the enlargement is important as some gingivalenlargements can cause extensive morbidity or even mortality.
3
There are different types of gingivalenlargements and they vary according to the etiologic factors and pathologic processes that produce them.
1
The patient was referred because of a nodular asymptomatic gingivalhypertrophy with ulceration around the eruption site of tooth 36, without any detectable tooth mobility.
