Abstract
During immunosuppression with cyclosporine, gingival overgrowth, a minor secondary effect, may appear in the first weeks of treatment. In certain cases it may affect the function and/or esthetic appearance in a manner intolerable to the patient. A new immunnosuppressive molecule, tacrolimus, presently used as a treatment of second choice to control acute corticoresistant rejection, may bring oral comfort to these patients, since it reduces gingival overgrowth to negligible levels.
