Abstract EN
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is used in the treatment of neuropathy.
This case report presents, for the first time, a patient with severe periodontal destruction after chronic therapy with IVIG.
The patient reported having extracted his maxillary anterior teeth himself due to high mobility.
Clinical examination and radiographic images show a generalized and severe periodontitis.
No significant alterations in genetic or microbiological features were observed.
The present case suggests that periodontal disease aggravation could be considered a new adverse effect of IVIG therapy.
Postulated mechanisms are immune complexes formation, complement activation, and a direct effect in osteoclasts.
In conclusion, it is important that patients that will receive IVIG treatment underwent dental evaluation.
