Title

Surgical Management of Gingival Pigmentation: A Case Report

Abstract

Gingival hyperpigmentation can be defined as a darker gingival color beyond what is normally expected. Pigmentation is usually contributed as by-products of the physiological process such as melanin, oxyhemoglobin, carotene, reduced hemoglobin, and iron and/or pathological diseases, and conditions. Either it can be due to melanin pigmentation results produced by melanoblasts or environmental risk factors such as tobacco smoking. Pigmentation of gingiva not just has an impact on esthetics and may range from physiologic reasons (e.g. racial pigmentation) to manifestations of systemic illnesses (e.g. Addison’s disease) to malignant neoplasms (e.g. melanoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma). Therefore an insight understanding is necessary of the cause for mucosal pigmentation before planning the treatment. A wide range of procedures has been advocated for the removal of gingival pigmentation, i.e., depigmentation such as bur abrasion, scraping, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, and laser. In the present case report, a scraping technique was used which is simple, yields good results and gold standard along with good patient satisfaction.
