OBJECTIVES: To present a case of gingival overgrowth during visiting care.
BACKGROUND: Ca-channel blocker-induced gingival overgrowth is a well-known adverse event. However, only limited information on the treatment of calcium-channel blocker-induced gingival overgrowth during visiting care has been reported.
CLINICAL REPORT: The patient was an 88-year-old female living in a nursing home since dementia. She had been taking a calcium-channel blocker and observed gingival overgrowth. Initial therapy was performed and changed the antihypertensive medication from a calcium-channel blocker to an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. After initial therapy, the gingival overgrowth improved significantly. In addition, the defecation rate was improved.
CONCLUSION: This case indicated that periodontal therapy is useful even for dementia patients during visiting dental care.
