Özet

Black hairy tongue, also known as lingua villosa nigra, is characterized by desquamation defects on the dorsal side of the tongue with reactive hypertrophy of the filiform papillae. Although the etiology of the disease is unknown, conditions such as smoking, alcohol and candidal infection are accused. In this study, a case of black hairy tongue which is considered to occur due to poor oral hygiene and candidal infection is presented.
