    Summary

    Hydantoin medication caused excessive gingival hyperplasia in a 9-year-old girl, significantly impacting her nutrition and permanent tooth eruption. This case highlights the critical need for monitoring dental side effects in pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Oral Medicine

    Context:

    • Gingival hyperplasia is a known side effect of certain medications.
    • Hydantoin-based anticonvulsants can induce significant oral tissue overgrowth.
    • This case involves a pediatric patient experiencing severe symptoms.

    Purpose:

    • To report a case of severe gingival hyperplasia in a child on hydantoin medication.
    • To illustrate the clinical presentation and consequences of drug-induced gingival overgrowth.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and management.

    Summary:

    • A 9-year-old girl developed excessive gingival hyperplasia while undergoing hydantoin therapy.
    • The severe overgrowth of gum tissue interfered with eating and prevented permanent teeth from erupting.
    • This condition presented significant challenges to the patient's oral health and development.

    Impact:

    • Underscores the potential for severe adverse dental effects from hydantoin medications in children.
    • Highlights the need for vigilant dental monitoring in pediatric patients receiving such treatments.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the management of drug-induced gingival hyperplasia.
