Abstract: The increasing emphasis on facial aesthetics and a growing public awareness of oral health have driven a surge in demand for cosmetic periodontal treatments. Excessive gum display is often a primary aesthetic concern in the periodontium when evaluating smile attractiveness. Clinical crown lengthening procedures are designed to expose more tooth structure for restorative or aesthetic purposes. Gingival hyperpigmentation is a common aesthetic concern among young patients seeking dental care. Gingival depigmentation is a periodontal surgical technique designed to reduce or eliminate excessive pigmentation. The present case report showcases the effectiveness and thoroughness of gingival depigmentation and crown lengthening carried out with a diode laser.
