How long does drug-induced gingival hyperplasia take to recover after stopping medication?

The recovery of gingival overgrowth caused by drugs depends mainly on the individual and the condition of gingival overgrowth. Drugs that cause gingival overgrowth include nifedipine for hypertension, cyclosporine A, and phenytoin sodium. After stopping the drug or switching to other drugs under the guidance of a professional doctor, if the patient's physical condition is stable and periodontal treatment is combined, gingival overgrowth can be slowly recovered. Periodontal reexamination is recommended for the first month, the fifth month, the sixth month and the twelfth month after surgery, because periodontal inflammation is easy to relapse.
