Resumo
A longitudinal study was conducted during the first six months following transplantation in 100 heart, liver or kidney transplant patients, 20 of which suffered from periodontal disease. The plaque and gingivitis indices evolution was similar for patients with and without periodontal disease. However, patients suffering from periodontal disease showed both lower cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth prevalence (30 % prevalence as compared with 46% in patients without periodontal disease) and less overgrowth severity. Overgrowth development stabilized in month 3 after transplantation in patients with periodontal disease, while as average overgrowth in patients without periodontal disease continued to grow until month 5.
