Resumen
Gingival enlargement can be an adverse effect of ciclosporine A
and nifedipine use. It has a high relapse rate if the drugs are not discontinued. There is a
genetic predisposition to the development of this condition and dental biofilm can also play a
role. We report a 64 years old male who received a renal allograft and was treated with
cyclosporine and nifedipine. He required six surgical interventions for generalized gingival
enlargement. After the sixth relapse, the patient was subjected to a periodontal treatment to
eliminate the dental biofilm, which decreased the rate of recurrence of gingival enlargement.
