[Indices for the clinical evaluation of drug gingival hyperplasia using the example of cyclosporin A].
The gingiva and the dental health situation of patients after an organ transplantation are determined within the regular dental examination. The findings are recorded by different indices, which are summarized as CsA-indices, on a special data collection sheet. They indicate the gravity of the hyperplasia, the inflammation degree based on the color of the tissue, the tonus and the bleeding of the gingiva as well as plaque and calculus and therefore renders possible the dental supervision and the comparison of the gingival situations during a long recall period. Additionally, situation casts, photos from different visual angles and a full month radiograph are required. This systematic recording of the findings facilitates a therapy and follow-up treatment, which are adapted to each individual situation.
