“…When it comes to postoperative pain, our findings indicate that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser is associated with the lowest risk of experiencing moderate-to-severe pain and the lowest postoperative pain score compared with other interventions. This finding was observed in several studies, such as Beşiro glu-Turgut et al [51], Bakhshi et al [35], and Gholami et al [20]. Suthprasertporn indicated that lasers in the Er,Cr:YSGG category result in reduced levels of pain compared to lasers outside the Erbium family.…”

“…Likewise, Altayeb et al showed that the repigmentation intensity and extensity were significantly higher in the Er,Cr:YSGG group than in the diode group at one year and two years post procedure (p < 0.05) [10]. In contrast to this finding, Beşiro glu-Turgut et al and Bakhshi et al showed that Er,Cr:YSGG was associated with significantly lower pigmentation density and a higher percentage of no recurrence compared to the diode laser [35,51]. Several elements contribute to the variability in treatment outcomes for recurrence, including the type of treatment used, the duration of follow-up, assessment criteria for pigmentation, as well as genetic, ethnic, and hormonal factors [21].…”

Background: Oral-pigmented lesions have raised aesthetic concerns, leading to multiple depigmentation techniques. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of different treatments for oral hyperpigmentation. Methods: A computerized search was conducted on Science Direct, Medline via PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using the relevant keywords. English-language studies published between 2013 and 2023 that focused on patients with oral pigmented lesions subjected to different treatment modalities, such as laser or surgical intervention, were compared to determine their efficacy and safety profile. Data were analyzed using R software, applying frequentist models. Results: A total of 27 studies were included. In contrast to the CO2 laser, Er: YAG laser was linked to a higher risk of bleeding (RR = 2.73, p < 0.01), whereas the diode laser had the most favorable score in minimizing bleeding index (P-score = 0.86). In terms of lower risk and postoperative pain score (RR = 0.01, p < 0.01), the Er,Cr:YSGG laser had the most favorable result (P-score = 1.00). The Er: YAG laser demonstrated the highest probability of preventing recurrence (RR = 0.28, p < 0.01), followed by the diode laser (RR = 0.42, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The choice of treatment for oral pigmentation should be based on individual patient needs and the desired outcomes. The Er: YAG laser seems highly effective in preventing pigment recurrence, the diode laser emerges as a top contender in managing bleeding risks, and the Er,Cr:YSGG laser is particularly efficacious in managing postoperative pain.
