Depigmentation of the gingiva is performed by various techniques like scalpel, bur, laser, and chemicals whereby the hyperpigmentation is removed or reduced. The aim of this procedure is to remove epithelium of the gingiva with a layer of the underlying connective tissue and let the denuded connective tissue heal by secondary intention. The present study was done to evaluate gingival healing using Ceramic soft tissue trimming bur as a new tool for gingival depigmentation in comparison to diode LASER.
