On the mechanism of drug-induced gingival hyperplasia.

Journal of oral pathology & medicine : official publication of the International Association of Oral Pathologists and the American Academy of Oral Pathology, 1991, Volume: 20, Issue:5

Proposed mechanisms of the side effect of drug-induced gingival hyperplasia are reviewed. Hypotheses with regard to inflammation from bacterial plaque, increased sulfated glycosaminoglycans, immunoglobulins, gingival fibroblast phenotype population differences, epithelial growth factor, pharmacokinetics and tissuebinding, collagenase activation, disruption of fibroblast cellular sodium/calcium flux, folic acid and a combination hypothesis are evaluated.
