    Abstract:
    Medical advances for treating organ diseases have resulted in thousands of organ transplants being performed each year. Every patient receiving a transplanted organ will also be placed on drugs that may induce gingival hyperplasia as a side effect. This article discusses the multiphasic approach to treating the disfiguring hyperplasia through chemical and mechanical plaque control, surgical removal of the tissue by lasers, and postsurgical rinses with folate.
