Cаse Study #1: Yоur pаtient is а 49-year-оld female and is new tо your practice. She reports a mitral valve prolapse, high blood pressure, and a history of cervical cancer which was treated with surgery about 10 years ago. She takes metoprolol to manage her blood pressure. She has three composite restorations on anterior teeth and two amalgam restorations on posterior teeth. Exploration with the EXD 11/12 reveals small spicules of calculus on most teeth beneath the gingival margin. She has generalized slight and localized moderate bone loss visible on radiographs. Marginal gingiva is red and inflamed with slight biofilm present along cervical and proximal surfaces.Question: During the hard tissue assessment, you notice a dark brown patch with a "leathery" texture to it on the cervical area of the root of a mandibular premolar.
