Case Reports

Epithelial melanosis of the gingiva possibly resulting from the use of oral contraceptives



RS Hertz, PC Beckstead, and WJ Brown

This case is typical of others we have seen. All cases have been those of female patients who were taking oral contraceptives. A relationship is suggested between use of oral contraceptives and gingival melanosis in individuals with light complexions. It would be appropriate, therefore, to question such patients about the use of oral contraceptives and to consider this relationship in a differential diagnosis.
