ABSTRACT
The increasing use of cyclosporine A (CSA) in organ transplants and in the treatment of autoimmune diseases has increased the incidence of cyclosporine A-related adverse effects, including gingival hyperplasia (GH). GH causes esthetic, speech, mastication and tooth growth problems in the affected patients. The prevalence of cyclosporine-induced GH varies in different studies and may be as high as 85%, depending on the diagnostic criteria. This review approaches etiological, histological and clinical issues, as well as the prevention and treatment of this important injury.
