Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Health and appearance of gingiva are important parts of a smile. The color of the gingiva is various among different individuals and it is thought to be associated with cutaneous pigmentation, ages, smoking,…Objectives: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of gum melanin d in patients visiting the Faculty of Odontology in Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 2019 and determining the relationship between gum melanin pigmentation and ages, gender factors Materials and methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out of 100 patients at the clinical practice department of Faculty of Maxillofacial, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Results: A study of 100 randomized subjects (44 men and 56 women) came to the hospital and recorded the rate of gingival melanin chromosome was 53% (male accounted for 50.9%, female accounted for 49.1%). The incidence of gingival disease in men in the study was 61.4% and in women was 46.4%. 40% of minor pigmentation according to DOPI (grade 1), 13% of pigmentation of moderate degree (grade 2). There was a statistically significant relationship between gingival melanin and skin color. The level of gingival melanin pigmentation is not different in men and women. Conclusion: The rate of melanin chromatin is 53%, the color of skin is related to the melanin gum.
