Gingival melanin pigmentation, although physiologically benign, often poses a significant esthetic concern, particularly in individuals with high smile lines. This case series aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of mesotherapy using a combination of Vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and glutathione as a minimally invasive approach to gingival depigmentation. Two systemically healthy patients exhibiting diffuse melanin pigmentation in the anterior maxillary gingiva were managed with intramucosal injections administered at weekly intervals over three sessions. Clinical evaluation was performed using the Dummett and Gupta Oral Pigmentation Index at baseline and at a 3-month follow-up. Both cases demonstrated a marked reduction in gingival pigmentation with satisfactory esthetic improvement and no reported adverse effects or recurrence. These preliminary findings suggest that mesotherapy with a synergistic combination of antioxidant and depigmenting agents may offer a viable, conservative alternative to conventional depigmentation techniques.
牙龈黑色素沉着,尽管在生理上是良性的,但常常引起严重的美学问题,尤其是在微笑线较高的个体中。本病例系列旨在评估使用维生素C、氨甲环酸和谷胱甘肽联合进行中胚层疗法作为牙龈色素沉着微创方法的临床效果。两名全身健康、上颌前牙龈出现弥漫性黑色素沉着的患者接受了黏膜内注射治疗,每周注射一次,共注射三次。在基线和3个月随访时使用达米特和古普塔口腔色素沉着指数进行临床评估。两个病例均显示牙龈色素沉着明显减少,美学改善令人满意,且未报告有不良反应或复发情况。这些初步研究结果表明,抗氧化剂和色素沉着剂协同联合的中胚层疗法可能为传统色素沉着技术提供一种可行的、保守的替代方法。
