Gingival Hyperplasia= 50% T: younger pts are more susceptible than adults Hyperplasia increase and peaks at about 12 to 18 months on medication T: If meds are removed hyperplasia will regress Tissue decreases in size 1-2 months after pt is off of meds False: dosage and duration are not related to the hyperplasia |
|
|

Describe the mechanism of action of the immuno-suppressive drugs
-imuran, -prednisone -cyclosporine and the -various calcium channel blockers --procardia |
Ca channel blockers are used as anticonvulsives and for people with hrt problems
Ca channel blockers block ca uptake at neuromuscular junctions (used to decrease contractility) and also uptake of Ca by fibroblast Due to the lack of Ca uptake by fibroblast they are also unable to take up folic acid -thus fibroblast are depleted in Ca and folic acid Fibroblast are responsible in synthesis and breakdown of collagen---> thus collagen turn over rate is affected Collagen is synthesized in the pro form but CANT be converted into its active form without FOLIC ACID Thus fibroblast are loaded with pro-collagen BUT unable to convert it |
|
|
State the effect of immunosuppresive and or calcium channel blocking drug therapy.
Procardia therapy? |
30% of patients on procardia get gingival hyperplasia.
Controlling an immunosuppressed patient is not easy. -Medications can cause perio disease, allergic reactions or can modify gingival reactivity. |
|
|
T or F:
Drugs can increase or decrease gingival reactivity, ie there could be lots of plaque and calculus with no inflammation. Therefore, don’t let clinical manifestations fool you. Patient gets infected with destruction of tissue and bone, many times in the absence of clinical signs. |
SAD BUT TRUE!!!
