  • Title: Gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine, an arterial vasodilating drug.
    Author: van der Wall EE, Tuinzing DB, Hes J.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1985 Jul; 60(1):38-40. PubMed ID: 3862012.
    Abstract:
    In a 32-year-old patient a relationship was suggested between the development of gingival hyperplasia and the vasodilating drug nifedipine (Adalat). The hyperplasia was clinically and histologically similar to the gingival hyperplasia previously noticed with diphenylhydantoin. The nifedipine-induced gingival hyperplasia may be caused by alterations in calcium metabolism.
