Reversible hard palate hyperplasia associated with amlodipine use: case report.

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are medications often used in the clinical management of hypertension and coronary artery disease. Gingival enlargement is a common side effect of CCB administration with no other oral tissue hyperplasia being reported. Thus, gingival enlargement is considered to be a tissue-specific side effect of CCBs. Here, we report for the first time a case of CCB-related palate hyperplasia in a patient suffering from oral lichen planus and the possible reasons for its occurrence.
