Abstract: High smile lines and gingival pigmentation in the front region may raise aesthetic issues. A female patient in her 20s who was otherwise healthy and did not smoke was brought to the department with the main complaint of having brown gums in the front. Scalpel method gingival depigmentation was planned, and a patient-based assessment of aesthetic satisfaction was made utilizing a visual analog scale. The patient reported a visual analogue score of 10 one month following surgery. According to this study, the scalpel approach is easy to use and efficient for obtaining acceptable esthetics.
