Case description

The blue discolouration of the gingiva develop following some recent dental work in which an adjacent tooth was filled with dental amalgam. Occasionally, isolated amalgam spots can be mistaken for an intradermal malanonevus or even for a small melanoma. A dental radiograph will usually demonstrate calcification in an amalgam tattoo.
