| description | Gingival hyperpigmentation can be defined as a darker gingival colour beyond what is normally expected. The colour of the gingiva is vital for facial beauty and contributes in a great manner to the appearance of an aesthetic and confident smile. A dark colour of gingiva can have a negative psychological impact, particularly when combined with a higher lip line or a smile with visible gingiva. The gold standard for managing gingival pigmentation is by scalpel surgical technique, despite its disadvantage of resulting in an open wound that requires special care and dressing. Hereby, the authors present a case report of 21-year-old-male patient with concern about dark colour of gums and used scalpel surgical technique for gingival depigmentation and aimed to assess and evaluate the efficacy of reactive oxygen available in gel form (Blue®m gel™) and long-accepted Coe-Pak™ dressing on healing of the gingiva, pain perception, and re-epithelisation following surgical depigmentation. On follow-up, it was inferred that gingival healing, pain tolerance, and re-epithelisation was better with Blue®m gel™. |
