Sažetak
A 67 year old female was referred to the Department of oral medicine due to the lesions on the gingiva where she applied 1% aqueous gentian violet due to the gingival inflammation. She applied gentian violet during two days, two times a day. The pain was worsening as well as extension of the lesions. She was advised to stop applying gentian violet and was given mouthrinse consisting of hexetidinum, methylprednisolone and xylocaine to be used three times a day. After 10 days the lesions completely healed. This case highlights the fact the commonly prescribed agents might also induce oral toxic/iritational reactions in the oral cavity.
