To evaluate effect of Oxidant (Oxygen Releasing Oral Gel) with Coe-Pak versus Anti-oxidant (Nano-emulsion complex propolis and vitamin C gel) with Coe-Pak on wound healing, pain, patient satisfaction after gingival depigmentation
Gingival depigmentation is considered a periodontal plastic surgery, in which gingival hyperpigmentation is eliminated. The scalpel surgical method is one of the most cost-effective methods, easiest and does not need broad equipment. However, scalpel surgery leads to bleeding during and after surgery, and the surgical area has to be covered with periodontal dressing for 7-10 days. Periodontal dressings are used around the necks of the teeth and surrounding tissue to cover the wound. Non-eugenol dressings are now the most commonly used periodontal dressings include Coe-Pak, Cross Pack, Peripac, Septopack, PerioCare, Perio Putty and Periogenix. Anti-oxidant gel (Nano-emulsion complex propolis and vitamin C - NBF GINGIVAL GEL®) is a high efficiency nano bio fusion gel containing propolis, nano vitamin C, E and herb extract. Anti-oxidant power of nano Vitamin C (NBF GINGIVAL GEL®) is ten times more effective in hundred times smaller amounts, than Vitamin C by itself. Vitamin C collaboratives with Vitamin E and preserves cell membranes integrity. Propolis has antioxidant effect due to its radical scavenging ability, which was more efficient than antioxidant effect of vitamin C. it also enhances synthesis of collagen due to the presence of iron and zinc elements. it has proven to increase healing of epithelial tissues. The presence of oxygen in Oxygen Releasing Oral Gel (blue®m gel) enhances cellular metabolism, collagen synthesis, antibacterial activity, angiogenesis, revascularization, and the release of growth factors, it also helps keratinized tissue formation and has antimicrobial effects.

Oxygen will be released after application Oxygen Releasing Oral Gel (blue®m gel) creating a partially high oxygen pressure (pO2), which aids in restoring the micro-environment for a healthy oral cavity
Anti-oxidant gel (Nano-emulsion complex propolis and vitamin C - NBF GINGIVAL GEL®) is a nano bio fusion gel containing propolis, nano vitamin C, E and herb extract
It is non eugenol periodontal dressing. It is supplied in two tubes, the contents of which are mixed immediately before use. One tube contains zinc oxide, oil, a gum, and lorothidol. The other tube contains liquid coconut fatty acids thickened with colophony resin and chlorothymol

RECRUITINGwound healing
Assessment of healing using the healing index scale by Landry with scale starting from (1 for very poor healing and 5 excellent healing).Postoperatively clinical photographs will be taken.
Time frame: Change in healing from baseline up to 4 weeks
Post-operative Pain Assessment
pain score will be measured at 1st week . Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate pain with score starting from 0 (minimal pain ) to 10 ( maximum pain). Questionnaire
Time frame: 7 days
Post-operative Pain Assessment
pain score will be measured at 2nd week. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate pain with score starting from 0 (minimal pain ) to 10 ( maximum pain) . Questionnaire
Time frame: 14 days
Patient Satisfaction
Questionnaire (yes/no)
