Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Gingival hypertrophy is a frequent condition associated to the increased number of patients taking some categories of drugs. The goal of this work is to emphasize the importance of diagnosis to set a proper therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The plaque accumulation in patients having a poor oral hygiene damages the periodontium and requires the application of strict professional and home hygiene protocols. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The drug-induced gingival proliferation knowledge is essential in order to succeed in working with the internist and in planning a precise therapy, without interfering with the metabolism of drugs, often necessary and irreplaceable for patients' health.
