Histological study of the voluntary traumatic inclusion of a foreign body in the gingival mucosa

First histological features of traditional tattooing of gingival mucosae using smoke-black are reported. They show the complete tolerance of connective tissue. The microscopic examination occurs several weeks or months after the tattoo was done. Thus, one can notice that carbon particles localize pa...

Summary:First histological features of traditional tattooing of gingival mucosae using smoke-black are reported. They show the complete tolerance of connective tissue. The microscopic examination occurs several weeks or months after the tattoo was done. Thus, one can notice that carbon particles localize particularly around blood vessels (small arteries), and that never arises inflammatory reaction of any type.
