.to proliferate resulting in thrush in susceptible patients
Antipsychotics: Phenothiazines .3
Antithyroid agents .4

.(such as NUG)
:c. Other drugs may affect hemostasis and cause oral purpura
Aspirin with its known effect on the platelets (not on the bone
.marrow)

and Lead can cause black or brown deposits in the gingival

Sulphides. The blue Lead line may be particularly sharply
.defined and indicate the level of the floor of the pocket
