Study Overview
Brief Summary
Topical anesthesia was applied with 2% lidocaine, and the entire pigmented layer of gingival epithelium in addition to an underlying layer of connective tissue was removed by abrasion with a no. 15 surgical blade. The depigmentation procedure was performed from the mucogingival junction to the base of the interdental papilla. Direct pressure was applied with a sterile gauze to control hemorrhage during the surgical procedure .The depigmented
area was covered with the conventional Coe-Pak periodontal dressing in the control group, whereas the Blue M active oxygen gel was applied to cover the depigmented area in the test group. Patient will be asked to apply Blue M active oxygen gel three times per day for one week at home. Patients will be recalled for follow up visit after 24 hours and 1 week postoperatively for the removal of Coe-pak dressing.
