Abstrakt: Introduction: A new technique was performed for the removal of an amalgam tattoo (AT), consisting in mucoabrasion combined with a free connective tissue graft (FCTG).
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old female presented with a large AT involving the alveolar mucosa and gingiva between teeth #7 and #8, where endodontic treatment and apicoectomy was performed 21 years ago. To avoid compromising esthetics, the lesion was managed with a new technique including mucoabrasion and an FCTG. At the 53-month follow-up, the patient exhibited a naturally appearing soft tissue with no evidence of the AT.
Conclusion: When performing a one-stage treatment of removing ATs in areas of high esthetic demand, it is possible to achieve good results and ideal gingival color.
