Abstract:Introduction:
Pigmented gingival tissue is a common complaint of patients as unaesthetic. There is a dearth of literature comparing the efficacy of depigmentation by cryosurgery using a biocompatible material 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethylene gas and diode laser, which are relatively newer techniques. The study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two different modalities of gingival depigmentation – 810 nm diode laser and cryosurgery using 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane in managing gingival melanin p… Show more
