Abstrakt: A clinical report of nifedipine-induced gingivitis in a medically compromised patient is presented. This case history also describes the challenges faced by the oral health practitioner to develop an appropriate regimen of treatment for a patient in whom neither withdrawal of the drug nor substituting for it was feasible, and periodontal surgery was contra-indicated.
