| description | Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Vitamin E and C application on healing after the gingival depigmentation (GD) procedure.
Materials and Methods:
A split-mouth study was planned for subjects with gingival melanin hyperpigmentation in maxillary and/or mandibular arches. Each site was randomly divided into two groups. The scalpel surgical technique for depigmentation was performed under local anesthesia. After the depigmentation procedure, Vitamin E was applied in Group 1, and Vitamin C was applied in Group 2. The healing index and Visual Analog Scale scores for pain were recorded on the 15th day and the 45th day postoperatively.
Results:
There was a statistically significant reduction in Visual Analog Scale scores and improvement in healing in both groups on the 15th day. Subjects in the Vitamin E showed better healing and reduced pain on the 15th day as compared to Vitamin C, but at the 45th day, there was no significant difference in both groups.
Conclusion:
Subjects would show faster healing with the use of Vitamin E application after the surgical procedure of GD. |
