Amlodipine-Associated Gingival Hyperplasia: a Case Report and Review of Literature.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;31(1):55-8.

Gingival overgrowth can be adverse reaction of calcium channel blockers. Although nifedipine is commonly associated with this process, some case reports have also implicated amlodipine as a possible etiology. Here we present a case of a 59-yearold Pakistani female who developed gingival hyperplasia secondary to amlodipine use. We believe that the knowledge about amlodipine-associated gingival hyperplasia is necessary for dentists, so they can accurately diagnose this condition and provide appropriate management.
