Summary

In an era where less than ideal esthetics is not accepted, the request for esthetic procedures is widely sought after. Melanin, a brown pigment, is the most common natural pigment contributing to endogenous pigmentation of gingiva. It is a non-hemoglobin-derived pigment formed by cells called melaonocytes

Dental cosmetic procedures including gingival depigmentation among the young generation are vastly becoming popular due to the public advertising of what the "ideal smile" should be. This means that brown/ pigmented gingiva is not esthetically accepted by modern standards. Numerous techniques for depigmentation were developed including surgical abrasion, lasers, chemicals and thermal techniques.

The use of post-operative non-eugenol containing periodontal packs acts as a mechanical barrier for coverage of the denuded area which prevents bleeding and promotes healing by preventing trauma to the area.

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a form of concentrated suspension of growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. Its use in the medical and dental fields is expanding during the recent year.
