Study Notes

Drug-Induced Gingival Enlargement

First observed location: The facial aspect of the maxillary anterior gingiva
Prevalent age group: Children and adolescents
Severe gingival enlargement: Defined as exceeding the normal contour of the gingiva
Not associated with drug-induced gingival enlargement: Erythema
Gingivitis with zero attachment loss: Plaque-induced gingivitis
Bleeding on probing in generalized gingivitis: Over 30%
Characteristic of non-dental biofilm-induced gingival diseases: Typically presents as non-plaque associated
Drug-induced gingival enlargements: Develop most frequently in patients with poor oral hygiene, and are associated with a variety of medications, including calcium channel blockers
Local risk factor facilitating plaque accumulation: Dental restorations with rough surfaces
Reduced salivary flow and enhanced gingival inflammation: Xerostomia
Most common medication associated with gingival tissue enlargement: Phenytoin, a drug used to treat epilepsy
Effect of calcium channel-blocking drugs on gingival tissues: Gingival enlargement
Difficulty in mechanical plaque removal contributor: Dental biofilm accumulation
Common cause of xerostomia: Radiation therapy
Individuals developing gingival enlargements from medications: Genetic predisposition plays a role
Local etiological factor in dental biofilm-induced gingival diseases: Dental biofilm
Bacteria associated with bacterial origin in inflammatory gingival diseases: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Viral origin linked to gingival diseases: Herpes simplex virus
Autoimmune disease of the skin and mucous membranes: Lichen planus
Genetic disorder related to gingival disease: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis
Inflammatory condition of Crohn's disease: Chronic inflammatory bowel disease
Source of hypersensitivity reactions unrelated to gingival diseases: Dental amalgam
Viral agent associated with hand-foot-and-mouth disease: Coxsackievirus
Pemphigus vulgaris classification: Autoimmune blistering disease
Viral condition characterized by small vesicles: Herpangina
Intraepithelial bullae and erosions after rupture: Pemphigus vulgaris
Gingival squamous cell carcinoma appearance: Erythroplakia
Common clinical manifestation of candidosis: Pseudomembranous candidiasis
Cobblestone appearance of the oral mucosa: Oral lichen planus
Gingival enlargement associated with hereditary gingival fibromatosis: Generalized gingival overgrowth
Exophytic smooth-surfaced masses attached to the gingiva: Peripheral giant cell granuloma
Leukoplakia distinction among oral lesions: White plaque that cannot be wiped off
Localized inflammation and tissue damage from trauma: Traumatic ulcer
Bleeding gums indicating vitamin deficiency: Vitamin C
Leukoplakia appearance: White, thickened patch
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) outcome: Can progress to more severe forms of periodontal disease
Pemphigus vulgaris characteristic: Autoimmune blistering disease that primarily affects the mucous membranes
Oral lichen planus characteristic: A chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disease characterized by white lacy reticular lesions
Minocycline potential effect: Drug-induced gingival enlargement
Proposed future research need concerning gum disease: Personalized treatment based on individual risk factors and genetics
