The present study was designed to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of electrosurgery with free gingival graft in the treatment of gingival hyperpigmentation in aesthetic areas. A total of 10 systemically with physiologic gingival pigmentation on facial surfaces of anterior region were randomly assigned to test (Free gingival graft) and control group (Electrosurgery). Both procedures, electrosurgical technique as well as FGG were found to be effective for gingival depigmentation. No recurrence was seen with either of the procedure upto 3 months post-operatively. However, there was less post-operative discomfort and pain in electrosurgical group as compared to FGG.
