Laser Dentistry: Excess Melanin in Gingival Tissues

Excessive Melanin Removal Success Treatment YAG lasers

Altering Melanin Pigmentation

Unusual ginigival pigmentation characteristics occur more frequently in some cultures, as compared to others. Persons with genetic ties to Mideastern and South African cultures oftentimes acquire this charaacteristic which is manifested by discolored or splotchy gums.

The Causes of Brown - Black Gum Tissue

In general terms, melanin, carotene and hemoglobin are the common pigments that contribute to the normal color of gum tissue. Certain imbalances of these pigmentation components cause the distortions in cosmetic appearance. In some cases the condition is known as black gums. This includes shade variations of brown or dark splotchy tissues.

Research in Laser Dentistry Applications

The Erbium:YAG Laser was consistently found to provide the most efficient and safe treatment for altering melanin pigmentation in the gingival tissues, thereby producing aesthetically correct pink gums.

Almost any shade of brown or blackened tissues can be altered.
