Abstract
Drug-induced hyperplasia or gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is a well-recognized adverse effect of certain systemic medications. Calcium channel blockers, anticonvulsants, and immuno suppressants are frequently implicated drugs in the etiology of DIGO. The three important factors in the expression of gingival changes after systemic medication use are drug variables, plaque-induced inflammation and genetic factors. The basis for diagnosis of DIGO is careful clinical examination and thorough history taking. For differential diagnosis histopathological examination is an important aid. The purpose of the present case report is to assimilate and compile the information for clinical applications such as diagnosis and therapeutic management of DIGO.
