Improvement of drug-induced gingival overgrowth and cerebrovascular related dementia after dental treatments

Clin Case Rep. 2023 Oct 23;11(10):e8093. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8093. eCollection 2023 Oct.

Abstract

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth can occur as a side effect of specific drugs and lead to poor oral function. Appropriate dental management of the overgrowth may improve oral function and improve cognitive deficits after cerebrovascular accidents.

Keywords: amlodipine; dental occlusion; gingival overgrowth; mental status and dementia tests; phenytoin.
