Brief Summary  

The study will comprise of 25 patients (50 sites) visiting the Department of Periodontology and Implantology, exhibiting gingival hyperpigmentation. Sides will be assigned randomly for each of the treatment groups.

The study will be conducted in Department of Periodontology and Implantology, after taking informed consent from the patient.  All the clinical parameters will be evaluated at baseline after which the sites in the patients will be randomly divided into Group I and Group II.

Prior to the study, study protocol will be explained to the patients and a written informed consent will be obtained.

The study will be initiated after the clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee.

Surgical Procedure:

Preoperative intraoral therapy and assessment of complete medical, family history, and blood investigations will be carried out to exclude any surgical contraindication and confirm the diagnosis of gingival pigmentation. Under local anesthesia gingival depigmentation will be carried out in the maxillary or mandibular aesthetic areas, from the canine/1st premolar region to contralateral similar tooth region, with scalpel procedure.

Clinical photographs, DOPI index, and Dermascopic examination will be  taken for gingival pigmentation at baseline and 6 months.
