Oral pigmentation can occur due to variety of reasons. Local irritants such as smoking may cause melanosis. These oral pigmented lesions result from cellular hyperplasia that can range from benign nevi to fatal oral melanoma. It may also be drug induced. Pigmentation occurs due to chronic irritation and post trauma too.
