Gingival hyperplasia associated with nifedipine therapy. Report of a case.
A case of gingival hyperplasia associated with the administration of nifedipine is reported. Clinically and histologically, the tissue resembled that seen in hyperplasia induced by phenytoin (Dilantin). We believe this to be the first reported case of gingival hyperplasia associated with this drug.
