Abstract

Gingival melanosis is a frequent disorder that causes disagreement in the smile of patients. There are multiple treatments that offer favorable results and little or no recurrence. The purpose of the clinical cases was to evaluate the results offered by the mucoabrasion technique and the removal of melanin spots in the anterior sector. The cases included two female patients, without systemic diseases, which presented melanic spots on the clinical examination. The first case presented pigmentations in the upper jaw, while the second case presented pigmentations in both jaws. Depigmentation was done with and combined technique:  scalpel and bur abrasion. The melanic spots were completely eliminated in both cases with a complete technique, without the need for expensive equipment and no recurrence was observed after 6 months. The mucoabrasion technique is effective in treating gingival melanosis is easy to use, short-term operative, less time healing, with a postoperative period acceptable to the patient and economic costs.
