Nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth. Report of a case treated by controlling plaque

A review of the literature reveals little evidence that controlling plaque reduces and controls nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth. The case presented suggests that significant reduction and control of nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth can be achieved by thorough scaling and root planing along with meticulous plaque control.
