Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 traumatic lesion probably overly filled tooth . Amalgam tattoo is not usually red. The most predictable diagnosis is traumatic ulcer due to filling, the tooth may have been carious since a long time and the cavity would have made the tongue get used to occupying that space.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Geographical tongue isnt usually seen as a small red lesion. It affects the whole of the tongue. But this question is incomplete.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 It can be traumatic,..but the trick here is amalgam restoration and it can be a lichenoid reaction-that I tend to think SincerelyLyudmyla From: Kanika Kohli <kanika_sahil@...> " " < > Sent: Saturday, 26 November 2011, 1:01 Subject: Re: Re: regarding red lesion that is why m concerned as it was nt written anywhere that amalgam tattoo is red although it form a pigmented lesion.but i think it shd be traumatic ulcer.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yeah to be honest lichenoid has a more lichen planus like features. But it can be erosive and is premalignant. So it can be lichenoid or traumatic. Since amalgam written so it can be lichenoid. I would go for lichenoid and would agree with the doctors who answered lichenoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 traumatic ulcer seems the most likely answer.
