Other colour pigmentations

Chronical quicksilver or bismuth intoxication show scalloped pigments along vessels and basal membrane of the gingiva. Additionally the pigmentation is often followed by hypersalivation and metallic taste.

Silver or gold pigmentations represent as blue-violet discoloration of the gingival margin. Plumbism causes bluish-black discolorations in the gingival tissue. It happens only in patients with natural dentition and almost entirely in people who work with lead. Children often take objects like crayon or coloured pens into their mouth which, in turn, easily leads to discolorations. This must always be taken into consideration. Therefore a complete anamnesis is absolutely essential. back

Welcome to Stomatopedia

Stomatopedia is a free educational platform for stomatology, oral pathology of the soft tissue diseases in children and adolescent. Oral soft tissue diseases exhibit distinctive clinical features and require visual recognition to establish an exact diagnosis. Therefore we share our clinical features with Paedriatricians, Medical Practitioners and Paediatric Dentists and we hope it will be helpful in distinguishing one lesion from another as a part of the diagnostic process. We have set our priority to lesions in children and adolescents and we hope this set focus will stress and develop cooperation. The editors are interested to create a lively exchange about the topics in pictures an in discussion.
