Summary

Physiologic gingival pigmentation(PGP) is the most common type of gingival pigmentation and cosmetic concern particularly in gummy smile patients. Laser therapy is an effective and noninvasive treatment option. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of diod laser on the treatment of PGP in patients.

Conditions

  • Laser-induced Hypopigmentation

Interventions

DEVICE

810 Diode Laser

The 810-nm diode laser has energy and wavelength characteristics that specially target the soft tissues. It has an affinity for hemoglobin and melanin, so it is an excellent soft tissue laser and is applicated for cutting and coagulating gingival tissue.Today,sparse studies have been published assessing physiologic gingival pigmentation using diode laser,therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diode laser on the treatment of gingival pigmentation in adult patients.
