background: to evaluate the effect of cyclosporin a (csa) and angiotensin ii (ang ii) on cytosolic calcium levels in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (hgfs). materials and methods: healthy gingival samples from six volunteers were obtained, and primary hgfs were cultured. cell viability and proliferation assay were performed to identify the ideal concentrations of csa and ang ii. cytosolic c...

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a rare heriditary condition characterized by slowly progressive, nonhemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of maxillary and mandibular keratinized gingiva caused by increase in submucosal connective tissue elements.
