Abstract:
Introduction: Gingival enlargement is defined as an overgrowth or increase in size of gingiva. Gingival enlargement is associated with multiple factors including inflammation, medications, neoplasia, hormonal disturbances and heredity. A case of gingival enlargement should be treated in a step-wise manner, including consultation with the patient’s physician, substitution of the drug, nonsurgical therapy, surgical therapy (if needed), and supportive periodontal therapy after every 3 months. Case series: This case series presents diagnosis and management of amlodipine induced gingival hyperplasia and idiopathic gingival enlargement. Drug-induced gingival enlargement and idiopathic gingival enlargement was diagnosed and managed byscaling and root planing followed by gingivectomy with 6 months follow up Conclusion: Conventional gingivectomy with oral hygiene measures and regular followup is the treatment of choice for such
presentation.
Keywords: Drug- induced enlargement, idiopathic gingival enlargement, gingivectomy
