Possible pharmacotherapy for nifedipine‐induced gingival overgrowth: 18α‐glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits human gingival fibroblast growth

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This investigation aimed to establish the basis of a pharmacotherapy for nifedipine‐induced gingival overgrowth. Gingival overgrowth has been attributed to the enhanced growth of gingival fibroblasts. In this study, we investigated the effects of 18‐α‐glycyrrhetinic acid (18α...
