Gingival Depigmentation is a cosmetic periodontal technique that counters any dark, black, or brown spots (pigmentation) in the gums to make them brighter and more homogeneous-looking, with a pinkish hue. This colouring is usually caused by the overproduction of melanin by cells known as melanocytes, and it is often inherited or influenced by ethnicity.
Essential Characteristics and Indications of the Procedure
- Aesthetic Enhancement : The primary aim is to address aesthetic issues, such as darkening of the smile line, thereby enhancing confidence.
- Procedure Options : A variety of practical techniques exist, the best one to choose being specific to the scope of pigmentation:
- Surgical Abrasion (Scalpel Technique) : The pigmented uppermost layer of the gum tissue is carefully peeled away.
- Laser Depigmentation (Most Preferred) : A soft tissue laser is used to precisely vaporise and eliminate the pigment cells of the skin. It is extremely popular because it is the least invasive, offering enhanced control and rapid recovery with minimal post-operative pain.
- Electrosurgery or Cryosurgery : This is not a standard procedure; instead, it is used to remove pigmented tissue.
