Gingival Depigmentation

ABSTRACT The complaint of black gums is common particularly in patients having a very high smile line and possess esthetic problems for them. The degree of gingival pigmentation depends on melanoblastic activity. Various treatment options are in practice for depigmentation which includes scalpel gingivectomy, free gingival graft surgery, use of chemicals, such as 90% phenol and 95% alcohol, bur abrasion, electrosurgery, cryosurgery and lasers. Among the various techniques lasers offer a promising therapeutic option since it is simple, painless and predictable. Laser has been recognized as the most effective and reliable technique having many advantages as compared to other conventional treatment modalities. It provides a bloodless and painless surgery. Here, we report gingival depigmentation of 21-year-old female patient using scalpel and laser technique. How to cite this article Bhardwaj A, Grover HS, Lal S.

Gingival recession is defined as displacement of gingival margin apical to cementoenamel junction. Over the years gingival recession has been treated by a number of surgical techniques. Conventional mucogingival procedures such as the laterally positioned flap, free gingival graft, connective tissue graft and coronally positioned flap have been shown to be relatively successful in achieving root coverage. Gingival tissue regeneration (GTR) based root coverage has emerged as an alternative treatment because it demonstrates histologically new attachment formation. The aim of this study was to compare coronally positioned flap procedures in gingival recession defects with or without using a collagen barrier membrane.
