Keberhasilan penatlaksanaan drug-induced gingival overgrowth (digo) secara non operatif disertai substitusi maupun kombinasi obat (Studi pustaka)
D rug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) merupakan pembesaran gingiva yang terjadi karena efek samping dari pemakian obat-obat seperti imunosupresan (nifedipine) Hal ini menyebabkan masalah fonetik, mastikasi, estetik, maupun oklusi. Penatalkasanaan dari DIGO dapat dilakukan secara operatif dan non operatif disertai substitusi maupun kombinasi obat. penatalaksanaan operatif dapat menyebabkan efek samping yang tidak nyaman bagi pasien, seperti prndarahan dan trauma. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa penatalaksanaan DIGO secara non operatif berupakontrol plak dan skeling dan penghalusan akar (SPA) disertai substitusi maupun kombinasi obat telah dibuktikan dapat mencegah, mengurangi, bahkan menghilangkan DIGO secara total. drug-induced gingival overgrowth, immunosuppressant, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blokers, non surgical tratment.
D rug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is an unwanted adverse effect of some drugs such as immunosuppressant (cyclosporine), anticonvulsant (phenytoin), and calcium channel blockers(nifedipine). This can be a cosmetic problem, interfere with eating an speech, impede effective tooth cleaning or force the teeth out of aligment. Management of DIGO includes non surgical and surgical treatment including neither drug substitution nor drug combination. Although surgery remains the general option for treating gingival enlargement, surgery can cause post operative discomforts and unwanted side effects such as bleeding and trauma. Non surgical treatment including neither drug substitution nor drug combination has proven either to prevent this unwanted effect, reduces the incidence of its recurrence, or even vanish the gingival enlargement itself. This is an advantage for patiengs with trauma background.
