In the non-Caucasian population the skin and oral tissues show pigmentation to a variable degree, but much more than in Caucasian. When a person becomes edentulous, the tissues containing oral pigmentation disappear. The patient's ethnic background gives no information to predict the characteristics of individual oral pigmentation; other sources have to be found. The mucosal pigmentation of 106 non-Caucasian, dentate people in Amsterdam and Los Angeles was investigated; a classification-chart of oral pigmentation with six types was designed. This tool makes it possible to help patient, dentist and dental technician to choose an accurate simulation of the contour of oral pigmentation in a denture. It is recommended to document the individual pigmentation before extractions are performed.
