Abstract
:
This study was made to evaluate clinically the modified abrasion technique (Gingivabrasion) in management of intraoral ugly looking hyperpigmentation. ]5 patients complaining of the racial hyperpigmentation in the anterior part of the mouth (attached gingiva) were selected for this study. The pigmented areas were abraded using number 8 round carbide bur in a low speed under local analgesia. Care was taken to extend the abrasion into normal epithelium, to reach the maximum depth without mutilating the periosteum and to abrade any remnants of retained pigmentation in the early days of follow up. Follow-up continued for a year. Eleven patients attended regularly till the end of the follow up period. Norepigmentation was seen except for a few pigmented spots in two cases during the third postoperative month where one case was reabraded and the other was satisfied with the result. Gingivabrasion is a simple surgical technique that solves the problem of ugly looking mouth especially in the anterior region supported by the alveolar bone. Experimental studies of longer duration accompanied by histologic evaluation are being investigated.
