Abstract
The harmony of the smile is not only determined by the shape, position and the color of the teeth but also by the level and color of the gingival tissues. Gingival hyperpigmentation is a major concern for a significant number of patients, as a relevant aesthetic or cosmetic need. Oral melanin pigmentation is considered to be multifactorial and could be related to physiological or even pathological reasons and can be the consequence of a variety of local or systemic factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the repigmentation followed by gingival depigmentation carried out with a diode laser for 2 to 4 years of follow up. Five patients who were esthetically conscious of their dark gums were selected for this study. After reevaluation mild to moderate pigmentation was noted in all the cases.
