METHOD TO PREVENT AND TREAT GINGIVAL RECESSION BY CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS, ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS, AND ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKERS

摘要

A method is provided to prevent and to treat gingival recession by using Calcium Channel Blockers, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors, or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB), and more particularly, to a method to prevent and treat gingival recession, e.g., age related gingival recession, by using Calcium Channel Blockers, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers that are not taken orally, but administered by injection into the affected tissue or administered by topical application to the tissue of the gum, so as to increase the capillary network and blood supply to the cartilage, bones, ligaments, and soft tissues.
