No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized clinical trial evaluated the recurrence rates of physiological gingival pigments during 24 months follow-up and the patient perceptions after the ablative depigmentation using two laser wavelengths; Diode 940 nm and Er,Cr:YSGG 2780 nm.

Conditions

  • Hyperpigmentation; Melanin
  • Laser-Induced Hyperpigmentation

Interventions

DEVICE

Er,Cr:YSGG laser 2780 nm

The depigmentation procedure essentially involves laser ablation of epithelial layer of buccal gingiva containing melanin pigmentation.
