title: [Pigmentation of the oral mucosa from endodontic materials].
abstract: The Authors describe the clinical case in which a 30 years old male patient presents anomalous pigmentation of the oral mucosa after the endodontic treatment of the upper right central incisive. The mucosa's anomaly appeared at the height of the lower third of the root near the branch of an accessory endodontic canal previously filled and it was caused by the outlet of filling material. After the examination of this case, the Authors affirme the importance of an accurate anamnesis in order to obtain a correct diagnosis of the various kinds of pigmented lesions, distinguishing the etiology, the pathogenesis and the histologic patterns.
