Abstract

A simple and sensitive histochemical staining method was employed to demonstrate the accumulation of heavy metal in the gingiva of a patient with anamnestic data of lead intoxication. The Mallory hematoxylin technique showed negative results. The positive reactions with the ammonium sulfide solution employed were confirmed by x-ray recordings.
