Cаse # DW - Dаmоn Weаls is a 41-year-оld male, and authоr of several popular ‘mystery’ books. He has cerebral palsy (CP) and a seizure disorder. He is in a wheelchair and has moderate to severe muscular contractures of the hands, wrists and elbows. He takes Dilantin (phenytoin) daily to control seizures. Damon is verbal, but difficult to understand since his speech is affected by his CP. He has been going to dentists regularly throughout his life, but this is his first time in your dental practice. He is unable to perform self-care and has a home health aide who does all of his oral hygiene care on a daily basis. Intraoral assessment shows moderate attrition of all occlusal and incisal surfaces; accumulation of material alba throughout the mouth and retained food particles in the vestibular folds; moderate gingival hyperplasia; and heavy plaque on the cervical third of all teeth. Calculus accumulation is generalized with small spicules scattered subgingivally throughout the mouth and heavy supragingival calculus on mandibular anterior linguals and maxillary posterior facials. Damon is trying to give you some information about his medical history but you cannot understand him. fe dw q.jpg QUESTION: A side effect of the Dilantin medication is what is contributing to:
