Article Synopsis
- The review examines the oral health issues faced by heart transplant patients who are on immunosuppressive therapy, focusing on their oral manifestations.
- A comprehensive literature search identified 402 studies, of which 13 were relevant and included; these studies mainly highlighted periodontal diseases and drug-induced gingival enlargement as common issues.
- The findings suggest that while drug-induced gingival enlargement is the most frequently reported oral manifestation, other issues like oral cancer and infections were noted less often, indicating variability in research quality and outcomes.
