Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Gingival Neoplasms:

1.	S100 Proteins (S 100 Protein)IBA 10/01/1995 - "S-100 protein was localized in granular cells of adult GCT but not in the granular cells of congenital epulis. " 01/01/2012 - "Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter congenital epulis cells are negative for S-100 protein. " 12/01/1989 - "Congenital epulis of the newborn and central odontogenic granular cell tumor were negative for S-100 protein, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and prekeratin, suggesting a mesenchymal origin for these lesions."
2.	AntibodiesIBA 06/01/1997 - "No immunoreactivity was observed for any of the other 13 antibodies used in congenital epulis." 06/01/1997 - "This work analyses using immunohistochemical techniques 15 cases of myoblastomas and two of congenital epulis with different mono- and poly-clonal antibodies. " 12/01/1995 - "Four granular cell tumors and two congenital epulis were immunostained with a panel of 29 antibodies. "
3.	Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA)IBA 12/01/1995 - "Many similarities in immunostaining were found, for example, both tumor types were CD68+, Ki-M1P+, lysozyme-, vimentin+, fibronectin+, laminin+, lectin PHAE+, and lectin WGA+. However, differences were also noted, for example, granular cell tumor was always S100 protein+, but only one congenital epulis case was reactive (weak reactivity after microwave treatment), and staining with the proliferation markers anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MIB 1 was found only in congenital epulis. "
4.	Mucin-1 (CA 15-3 Antigen)IBA 12/01/1989 - "Congenital epulis of the newborn and central odontogenic granular cell tumor were negative for S-100 protein, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and prekeratin, suggesting a mesenchymal origin for these lesions."
5.	VimentinIBA 12/01/1995 - "Many similarities in immunostaining were found, for example, both tumor types were CD68+, Ki-M1P+, lysozyme-, vimentin+, fibronectin+, laminin+, lectin PHAE+, and lectin WGA+. However, differences were also noted, for example, granular cell tumor was always S100 protein+, but only one congenital epulis case was reactive (weak reactivity after microwave treatment), and staining with the proliferation markers anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MIB 1 was found only in congenital epulis. "
6.	Silicon Dioxide (Sand)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/2004 - "Gingival neoplasms in a captive sand tiger shark, Carcharias taurus (Rafinesque), and a wild-caught blue shark, Prionace glauca (L.)."
7.	Muramidase (Lysozyme)IBA 12/01/1995 - "The hypothesis that congenital epulis and granular cell tumor would exhibit similar reactivity for macrophage markers was confirmed: both were reactive with anti-CD68 and Ki-M1P and nonreactive with MAC387, anti-lysozyme, and 3A5. " 12/01/1995 - "Many similarities in immunostaining were found, for example, both tumor types were CD68+, Ki-M1P+, lysozyme-, vimentin+, fibronectin+, laminin+, lectin PHAE+, and lectin WGA+. However, differences were also noted, for example, granular cell tumor was always S100 protein+, but only one congenital epulis case was reactive (weak reactivity after microwave treatment), and staining with the proliferation markers anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MIB 1 was found only in congenital epulis. "
8.	Laminin (Merosin)IBA 12/01/1995 - "Many similarities in immunostaining were found, for example, both tumor types were CD68+, Ki-M1P+, lysozyme-, vimentin+, fibronectin+, laminin+, lectin PHAE+, and lectin WGA+. However, differences were also noted, for example, granular cell tumor was always S100 protein+, but only one congenital epulis case was reactive (weak reactivity after microwave treatment), and staining with the proliferation markers anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MIB 1 was found only in congenital epulis.

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Conscious Sedation 12/01/2012 - "Clinical diagnosis of congenital epulis (CE) was made and lesion was excised under conscious sedation. "
2.	Gingivectomy 01/01/1986 - "This report shows a case of benign gingival neoplasms of unknown etiology in which meticulous plaque control, combined with extensive gingivectomies and repeated professional prophylaxis may have prevented or, at least, retarded the recurrence of the lesion."
