Summary

Physiologic pigmentation affects the gingival esthetics. Laser ablation has been recently used as the most effective and reliable technique for gingival depigmentation. However, the high cost of laser technology limits its use in dental practice. Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid mesotherapy has been proposed as a minimally invasive, safe, cost-effective new modality of treatment.

Conditions

  • Gingival Pigmentation

Interventions

OTHER

Vitamin C mesotherapy

Vitamin C intra-mucosal injection; in which the site of interest will be anesthetized using a topical anesthetic agent (lidocaine gel or xylocaine gel) or infiltration anesthesia, followed by intra-mucosal field injections of 1-1.5 ml Cevarol (L-Ascorbic acid 1000 mg/5 ml

RADIATION

Diode laser

Diode laser ablation: in which the site of interest will be anesthetized using infiltration anesthesia, followed by laser ablation. 980nm Diode laser will be applied using the following setting parameters: continuous mode with 980nm wavelength at 1.5 W output power.
