It is an iatrogenic response of gingival tissue to these drugs along with other category of medications like antiepileptics and immunosuppressants. A unique case of long standing gingival overgrowth due to prolonged usage of CCB such as Amlodipine in a geriatric patient are portrayed herewith clinical, histopathological attributes and management protocol.
