Abstract : A healthy pink smile is usually associated with aesthetic concerns especially when gingiva is visible. Gingival hyperpigmentation is an esthetic problem when gingiva is visible during speech and smiling. Gingival depigmentation is a periodontal plastic surgery wherein the visible melanin pigment on the gingiva can be removed using various techniques. In this case series we will be comparing two methods of depigmentation, the conventional scalpel and Laser among 3 patients.
