ABSTRACT
Introduction: Gingival enlargement is an exaggerated and disfiguring increase in gum volume, associating its appearance with drugs like immunosuppressants and calcium channel’s blockers such as cyclosporine A and Amlodipine.Objective: To describe a clinical case of gingival enlargement associated to cyclosporine A and amlodipine, presenting chronic underlying periodontitis, its treatment and prevention in case of recurrence.
Case Presentation: Male patient, 50 years old with a history of arterial hypertension, bronchial asthma and hepatitis C, and presenting chronic renal failure leading renal transplant. The patient was treated with cyclosporine A and amlodipine. In the clinical examination was observed an increased volume in the gum, which completely covered the crown of the teeth, also periodontal bags of 5 to 8 mm, gingival bleeding and dental mobility. Main Comments: The diagnostic process allowed to verify that in addition to the generalized gingival enlargement there was a generalized chronic periodontitis.
Conclusions: The ingestion of an immunosuppressant such as Cyclosporin A with the use of a calcium channel’s blocker, amlodipine, and the influence of local connotation factors seem to be responsible for the combined appearance of generalized gingival enlargement and concomitant chronic periodontitis. The hygienic phase contributed considerably to improve the periodontal state, whose definitive solution was achieved with conventional periodontal surgery. The importance of periodontal examination in patients who are candidates for organ transplants is corroborated.
