ABSTRACT Gingival hyperpigmentation are major concerns for a large number of patients visiting the dentist. Melanin hyperpigmentation usually does not present a medical problem, but patients usually complain of dark gums as unesthetic. Pigmentation of gingiva is commonly caused by deposition of melanin in the basal layer of oral epithelium. Gingival melanin pigmentation may be seen across all the races and at any age without gender predilection. This case report describes the application of semi conductor diode laser procedure for gingival depigmentation. How to cite this article Saini R, Pazinatto FB, Radnai M.

Gingival hyperpigmentation in many esthetic concern patient poses a psychological problem and embarrassment. Among the many procedures used for gingival depigmentation, diode laser is considered as one which is highly accepted by the patient due to the absence of bleeding during and after procedure and being a fast and effective method. Literature have also stated the beneficial effect of low dose laser therapy on wound healing due to its potential to increase mitochondrial function, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), RNA, and protein synthesis which may further increase the cellular metabolism resulting in enhancement in wound healing and acceleration of the inflammatory process. This case report presents the use of diode laser for gingival depigmentation followed by laser photobiomodulation in an attempt to fasten the healing.
