Abstract

Introduction: Oral pigmentary lesions may have different clinical characteristics, ranging from physiological pigmentation, such as melanin spots, to something more serious, such as malignant melanoma. Due to the great variety of pigmented lesions, the treatments are varied and individualized. Objective: This clinical case reports a case of melanocytic removal through a surgical technique that associates rotary instruments and scalpel blade. Case report: A 45-year-old patient, melanoderma, sought care at the Positivo University, complaining about the dark spots visible on his gum, and the discomfort they caused him when smiling. After the clinical examination, the presence of melanocytic pigmentation was diagnosed and the proposed treatment was surgical removal of spots with a drill and scalpel blade. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient presented good healing and reported only mild burning in the first three days. After 60 days, the gingiva was healed, with no relapsing spots. Conclusion: The technique chosen was effective because it presented adequate healing and absence of relapse of the pigmentation in the postoperative follow-up
