Abstract

Background: Gingival enlargement is one of the most common manifestations of periodontal disease. Appropriate diagnosis should be established as it relates to treatment management. Recurrence of the disease also depends on the type of treatment. Hyperpigmentation of gingiva is often caused by physiological deposition of melanin by melanocytes. Although the melanin pigmentation of the gingiva is benign, esthetic problems often occur. Objective: To describe the esthetic treatment stage of gingival enlargement with gingival hyperpigmentation. Determination of the type of action detail will assist many clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of gingival enlargement with hyperpigmentation. Case: A 17-year-old male patient presented with enlarged gums. The patient claimed to have no hypertension, blood disorders, diabetes or hepatitis. Case Management: After a general check-up and early treatment, a gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation were performed using scalpel no. 15c. The oral administration administered was 500 mg tid amoxicillin and 500 mg tid.prn mefenamic acid. Results: After the gingivectomy was performed, multiple diastemas appeared, suggesting that orthodontic treatment was required. Conclusions: The combination of gingivectomy treatment with gingival depigmentation may be performed simultaneously using a scalpel periodontal instrument.
