N/A Gingival pigmentation. Intervention 1: Gingival depigmentation using CO2 laser in the left half of maxillary anterior sextant. In this method CO2 laser (6w, 100 palse/s) with fiber optic filaments is used. Contact mode is used in a cervical to apical direction. Care is taken not to harm tooth . Intervention 2: Gingival depigmentation using conventional method in the right half of maxillary anterior sextant. In this method epithelial layer in pigmented areas is removed using diamond bur on high-speed dental headpiece under copious irrigation with saline solution. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available
