研究目的
Investigating the use of 810 nm diode laser for depigmentation of gingiva caused by smoking.
研究成果
The use of 810 nm diode laser for depigmentation of gingiva resulted in complete healing at week 12 with no postoperative pain or edema. It was shown to be a safe and effective method for acceptable esthetic result and maximum patient comfort. A longer follow-up of the patients is necessary to monitor the occurrence of repigmentation.
研究不足
The study had a short follow-up period of 3 months, which may not be sufficient to observe long-term repigmentation. The high cost of lasers may also be a limitation for widespread use.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used 810 nm diode laser for gingival depigmentation in two female patients with heavy smoking history.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two systemically healthy female patients aged 28 and 25 years with a chief complaint of 'darkened gums' were selected.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
810 nm wavelength diode laser (Cheese? Wuhan, China) with a fiber-optic laser tip having a 400 μm diameter.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Under local anesthesia, depigmentation was performed using the laser tip in contact mode on the pigmented part of the gingiva. Patients were recalled at weeks 1, 4, and 12 for evaluation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Clinical evaluation and Dummett–Gupta oral pigmentation (DOP) index were used to determine the level of depigmentation.
