Hypocalcification type amelogenesis imperfecta in permanent dentition in association with heavily worn primary teeth, gingival hyperplasia, hypodontia and impacted teeth.A female patient with hypocalcification type amelogenesis imperfecta in permanent dentition in association with heavily worn primary teeth, gingival hyperplasia, hypodontia and impacted teeth is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/116. Partial regression of advanced cyclosporin-induced gingival hyperplasia after treatment with azithromycin. A case report.gingival hyperplasia is a well recognised complication of cyclosporin A therapy. Although its pathogenesis is still debated in several recent reports a second generation macrolide antibiotic-azithromycin induced partial or even complete regression of hyperplasia. We present a patient after kidney transplantation treated with cyclosporin who developed very advanced gigival overgrowth (stage 3 ). The patient received a 3-day treatment with azithromycin which was repeated after 3 months. The first course of the drug caused a partial regression of gingival hyperplasia during following months but the repeated treatment did not provide a further regression of the changes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/116. wegener granulomatosis simulating bacterial endocarditis.Cardiac involvement in wegener granulomatosis is uncommon. We report a case of wegener granulomatosis that presented as culture-negative endocarditis with aortic valvular vegetation. The clinical manifestations included gingival hyperplasia, gangrenous digital infarcts, mononeuritis multiplex, high fever, inflammatory arthritis, pansinusitis, splenic infarct, and aortic valvular vegetation, which underscore the difficulty of distinguishing systemic vasculitis from bacterial endocarditis. Contrary to the common notion that valvular vegetation is invariably associated with bacterial endocarditis, this case proves that such findings can occur in wegener granulomatosis as well. Clinicians are guided toward early treatment with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide to prevent fatal complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/116. nifedipine-induced gingival hyperplasia: non-surgical management of a patient.A clinical report of nifedipine-induced gingivitis in a medically compromised patient is presented. This case history also describes the challenges faced by the oral health practitioner to develop an appropriate regimen of treatment for a patient in whom neither withdrawal of the drug nor substituting for it was feasible, and periodontal surgery was contra-indicated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/116. oral manifestations of Schimmelpenning syndrome: case report and review of literature.Schimmelpenning syndrome (SS) is characterised by specific skin manifestations, skeletal defects, and central nervous system abnormalities. Here, the SS is briefly reviewed, and the oral and dental manifestations are described in a patient whose medical findings were previously published and included severe hypophosphatemic rickets. Significant oral and dental features included papillomatous lesions of the gingiva, hemihyperplasia (hemihypertrophy) of the tongue, bone cysts, aplasia of teeth, enlarged pulp chambers, hypoplastic or absent enamel, and an odontodysplasia-like permanent tooth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/116. Periodontic/orthodontic management of diphenylhydantoin gingival hyperplasia: case report.A case report of the periodontic/orthodontic management of a patient with diphenylhydantoin gingival hyperplasia is presented over a 38-month period. The interdependence between the two specialties is discussed along with the rationale for treatment, based upon empirical and available scientific knowledge.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/116. Oral Kaposi's sarcoma in a non-AIDS patient.Kaposi's sarcoma involving the oral cavity is seen frequently in AIDS patients but rarely in transplant patients. When the oral cavity is involved in transplant patients, it usually is located on the palate or the oropharynx. This article reports a renal transplant patient who developed Kaposi's sarcoma which mimicked a gingival hyperplasia in the oral cavity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/116. gingival hyperplasia complicating acute myelomonocytic leukemia.Many systemic illnesses manifest clinical signs in the oral cavity. A remarkable case of gingival hyperplasia heralding the presence of acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AML FAB-M4) is described.

9/116. cyclosporine A-induced gingival hyperplasia pemphigus vulgaris: literature review and report of a case.gingival hyperplasia appears in 8% to 85% of patients treated with cyclosporine. Most studies show an association between oral hygiene status and the prevalence and severity of this gingival overgrowth. Thus, besides attempting to substitute this drug with another whenever possible, treatment usually involves maintenance of strict oral hygiene coupled with scaling and root planing and removal of iatrogenic factors. Sometimes a second treatment phase involving periodontal surgery is necessary. cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth has been mainly described in post-organ transplant patients. The present case describes, for the first time, a severe form of cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth arising in a 15 year-old male with pemphigus vulgaris. Periodontal treatment included oral hygiene and scaling and root planing under local anesthesia. There was a significant reduction in gingival enlargement, as well as a reduction in plaque levels and inflammation. Cessation of drug administration, combined with continuous periodontal treatment, brought further improvement. This successful conservative treatment of cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth in a pemphigus vulgaris patient suggests that early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of these lesions may yield good response and reduce the need for periodontal surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/116. Three cases of palatal polyps in infants.Fibrous lesions are common in the oral cavity, however, in infants they are rarely reported. We present three cases of palatal polyps in infants aged 2 days, 3 months and 7 months. In two cases, the treatment was surgical removal and in one case the polyp decreased in size and surgical removal was not required. In two infants, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically as fibroepithelial hyperplasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
