Comparison of Diode Laser and Conventional Method in Treatment of Gingival Melanin Hyperpigmentation

Abstract: Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the scalpel and diode laser methods for treating gingival hyperpigmentation in terms of postoperative discomfort and wound healing. Materials & Methods: Sixteen systemically healthy individuals diagnosed with light or moderate gingival hyperpigmentation were enrolled for this study. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: scalpel or laser. Dummett’s oral pigmentation index was recorded at baseline. Early wound healing and post-operative … Show more

“…Understanding the characteristics, distribution, and factors influencing gingival pigmentation is critical for developing a rational treatment strategy. There is no direct correlation between the etiology of melanin and regions, ages, or genders [8]. Due to the lack of studies on gingival hyperpigmentation in Can Tho and the country, the research was done to provide knowledge about gingival hyperpigmentation to the outpatients.…”
