| Abstract | |
Aesthetics has been an eternal desire of human being and dentistry has played a great role in this by enhancing the smile. Aesthetic smile is determined by shape, colour, position of teeth and gingiva. Hyperpigmented gingiva often leads to consciousness and forces the patient to seek aesthetic treatment particularly in patients having a very high smile line. Gingival depigmentation can be performed in such patients who strive to achieve a harmonious interrelationship of the pink and white, with excellent results. Here two cases are presented of hyperpigmented gingiva treated with two different modalities yet both resulted in aesthetically pleasing outcome. |
