The effect of the drug on gingival enlargement is a serious problem in patients receivingcyclosporine therapy. Pathogenesis of gingival enlargement on cyclosporine therapy is not known at all, but theinfluence of fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix were estimated reduction capabilities play a role in thisaspect. Dental plaque does not have a significant relationship to the occurrence of gingival enlargement oncyclosporine therapy, but support the occurrence of chronic inflammation that contributes to gingival enlargement.Adequate oral hygiene with initial periodontal treatment can reduce inflammation and gingival enlargement due tocyclosporine therapy.
