Objective: Aesthetics is one of the main concerns for patients performing dental and oral care. One problem that is often experienced by patients is gingiva hyperpigmentation. Gingival hyperpigmentation is seen as diffuse purplish discoloration or irregular brown and light brown or black patches, striae or strands. This is due to the result of melanin granules being produced by melanoblasts. Melanin, a non-hemoglobin brown pigment, is the most common endogenous pigment and is produced by melanocytes present in the basal and suprabasal cell layers of the epithelium. Gingiva hyperpigmentation is commonly found in the anterior and labial region both in males and females. Surgical procedure that can be done to reduce melanin deposit is gingival depigmentation using various tools such as scalpel, bur, laser, and electrosurgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate gingival depigmentation using conventional scalpel technique. Method: A 25 years old male came to Hasanuddin Dental Hospital and complained regarding his discoloration on upper and lower anterior gingiva region. The patient was systematically healthy, a non-smoker, and did not take any medications. Gingival depigmentation was performed on upper and lower anterior gingiva region using conventional scalpel technique. Pigmented areas were scraped using #15 scalpel while patient was under local anesthesia. Periodontal pack was applied around the surgical area covering surgical wound tissue. Result: Postoperative control was carried out one week and one month after surgery. The healing process is proceeding normally and the patient does not complain of any discomfort. The gingiva looked healthy and there was no repigmentation. Conclusion: Gingival depigmentation using conventional scalpel technique is a simple, economical, hyperpigmentation.
