Wednesday Review Is here! 👀 🧐 Pharmacology| For the NBDHE + NDHCE Dental Hygiene Board Exams 😇 Q: Which medication can cause gingival overgrowth? (A). Cyclosporine (B). Diuretic (C). Insulin (D). Metronidazole 🧐 The image shows gingiva that has grown excessively. This is called gingival hyperplasia or gingival overgrowth. It is generally related to three types of drugs: • Cyclosporine (anti-organ rejection, e.g., Sandimmune) • Calcium channel blocker (anti-hypertension, e.g., nifedipine - Procardia) • Phenytoin (anti-seizure, e.g., Dilantin) 😎 Among the answer choices, cyclosporine is on the list of medications that can cause gingival hyperplasia. Insulin does NOT necessarily affect the oral cavity, but patients who are diabetic may show delayed wound healing and are more susceptible to periodontal diseases. Metronidazole can cause black hairy tongue and a metallic taste. 🧠 Answer: (A). Cyclosporine 🦷 🧐 The National Dental Hygiene Board Exams (NBDHE, NDHCE, and CSCE) love asking about pharmacology and common oral side effects of various medications. To add a bit more information to today’s lesson, let’s quickly review drugs related to xerostomia: ✅ Anti-histamine drugs (e.g., Benadryl) ✅ Anti-depressant drugs (e.g., fluoxetine - Prozac) ✅ Anti-psychotic drugs (e.g., clozapine - Clozaril) ✅ Anti-anxiety drugs (e.g., diazepam - Valium) ✅ Anti-emetic drugs (e.g., AlkaSeltzer) ✅ Anti-Parkinson’s drugs (e.g., Levodopa) ✅ Anti-allergic drugs (e.g., loratadine - Claritin) ✅ Diuretic anti-hypertensive drugs (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide - HCTZ) 😎 When it comes to the Dental Hygiene Board Exams (NBDHE, NDHCE, CSCE) and drugs that cause xerostomia, I imagine them creating some sort of “calming” effect to the body to make it “normal” again. 🧠 Look at the list again – Benadryl (yes, it calms allergies), Prozac (yes, it calms the body to become more normal and not depressed), anti-psychotic (yes, they calm craziness), etc. I think you understand the concept here. 🙏 #dentalhygieneschool #dentalhygienestudent #dentalhygienestudentlife
