Gingival enlargement associated with Nifedipine was first reported in 1980's and is very rarely reported to be associated with Amlodipine and Felodipine. The mechanism through which these medications trigger a connective tissue response are still poorly understood. The most effective treatment of drug induced gingival overgrowth is withdrawl or substitution of medication combined with meticulous oral hygiene, plaque control, and removal of local irritants. When these measures fails to resolve the enlargement, surgical intervention is recommended. This case reports a rare case of Amlodipine induced gingival enlargement. The patient was successfully managed by drug substitution and nonsurgical periodontal terapy.
