Split Mouth De-Epithelization Techniques For Gingival `Depigmentation: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Hyperpigmentation of gingiva is seen as a genetic trait in some populations and is more appropriately termed as physiologic or racial gingival pigmentation. It may result in esthetic concern in certain individuals. Gingival depigmentation is most often performed as a “patient demanded” periodontal plastic surgical procedure using various techniques. This article compares the effectiveness of scalpel technique and cryosurgery in the same patient in terms of early healing responses and patient compliance.
