pubmed-article:10418179 | pubmed:abstractText | Gingival enlargement induced by nifedipine (NIF), a calcium antagonist, has been reported in human and animal studies. However, three-dimensional morphologic measurements of gingivae have never been used to describe this type of enlargement. We previously established an animal model of cyclosporin-induced gingival enlargement. The present study used morphologic measurements to examine whether or not NIF-induced gingival enlargement occurs in the animal model. | lld:pubmed |
