Keglevich T, Windisch P, Gera I: Control of Periodontitis combined with Cyclosporin-Induced Gingival Overgrowth by Regular Professional Mechanical Debridement and a Maintenance Program (A Case Report) A clinical case of a middle-aged kidney transplanted woman is presented. The woman has been taking Cyclosporin-A for over 13 years and has had advanced periodontitis and severe gingival swellings and gingival inflammation. The kidney transplant patient was treated and followed up for approx, four years. The treatment protocol included very thorough mechanical scaling and root planing, oral hygienic instructions and the regular professional maintenance program resulted in complete remission of the gingival overgrowth and stabilization of the periodontal condition. The gingival and periodontal conditions showed a continuing improvement over the time despite of the continuous CSA administration. Key words: kidney transplantation, gingival overgrowth, Cyclosporin-A side effects, mechanical debridement, periodontal maintenance
