Abstract

Drug associated gingival hypertrophy is an adverse effect of a large number of drugs (anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, immunosuppressants), which in addition to being used in daily medical practice, these drugs are for continuous use. We present the case of a 50-year-old female patient diagnosed with convulsive disorder with 42 years of use of phenytoin.
