The effects of applying hyaluronic acid gel after gingival depigmentation using a scalpel or diode laser: a randomized clinical trial.
HA did not confer additional benefits to promote wound healing and reduce pain in depigmentation. Diode laser is a convenient method of depigmentation that improves initial healing and decreases initial pain, with reduced bleeding. Gingival hyperpigmentation is a major esthetic issue for many individuals. Laser and scalpel treatments produce equivalent esthetic outcomes.
