Sponsor's own description
Physiologic pigmentation affects the gingival esthetics. Laser ablation has been recently used as the most effective and reliable technique for gingival depigmentation. However, the high cost of laser technology limits its use in dental practice. Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid mesotherapy has been proposed as a minimally invasive, safe, cost-effective new modality of treatment.
