Abstract

In this part of the report, we have done a study of 52 epileptic patients, where we evaluated the degree of overgrowth at the gum, doing a relationship between that overgrowth and daily daily doses of phenytoin, time of ingestion, and to have the phenytoin alone or with another drugs. The results were that the overgrowth didn't have relation with the daily the daily doses, time of ingestion, or blood of phenytoin, but the blood levels were higher in the patients with bigger overgrowth.
