  • Title: Diphenylhydantoinate-induced hyperplasia of the masticatory mucosa in an edentulous epileptic patient.
    Author: Dreyer WP, Thomas CJ.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1978 May; 45(5):701-6. PubMed ID: 276788.
    Abstract:
    Gingival hyperplasia caused by phenytoin sodium is rarely encountered in edentulous persons. A case of generalized palatal hyperplasia is reported in which retained roots and teeth were suspected of having perpetuated a preextraction lesion, whereas a subsequently placed complete denture initiated a midpalatal hyperplasia. The lesion remained in spite of nonuse of the denture for several years.
