Gingial hyperplasia is a complication which may be seen in a significant number of patients taking nifedipine (Procardia, Pfizer) a commonly used medication for cardiac vessel dilitation. This is a report of gingival changes in a 43-year-old hypertensive male who began using the calcium channel blocking agent during his active dental treatment.
