Abstract

Epilepsy is a chronic neurologic disorder commonly seen in the children. Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug commonly used in the treatment of antiepileptic children. In addition to the many side effects of phenytoin, it may also cause gingival hyperplasia. Gingival hyperplasia is gingival enlargement due to the increase in the number of cell. Following the initiation of antiepileptic treatment, 2-3 months after the treatment the gingival hyperplasia occurs and becoming the most prominent 9-12 months. In this case report, we aimed to attention that gingival hyperplasia occurs due to the using of phenytoin and giving importance of oral and dental care to patients that used pheytoin.

Özet

Epilepsi, çocuklarda sık görülen kronik nörolojik hastalıklardan biridir. Fenitoin epileptik çocukların tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılan antiepileptik bir ilaçtır. Birçok yan etkisi yanında dişeti hiperplazisi de yapabilir. Dişeti hiperplazisi, hücrelerin sayısındaki artışa bağlı dişetinin genişlemesidir. Antiepileptik tedaviye başlanmasını takiben 2-3 ay sonra görülmeye başlamakta ve 9-12 ay sonra en belirgin haline gelmektedir. Olgu fenitoin kullanımında oluşabilecek gingiva hiperplazisine ve fenitoin tedavisi kullanan hastalarda ağız ve diş bakımının önemine dikkat çekmek amacı ile sunulmuştur.
