Ffect of Co-enzyme Q10 and Vitamin C Alone or in Combination After a Surgical Gingival Depigmentation a Randomized Clinical Study

Overview

This study aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of Co-enzyme Q10 and Vitamin C, applied individually or in combination after surgical gingival depigmentation.

Interventions

  • Procedure surgical depigmentation
    Surgical gingival depigmentation performed using the conventional scalpel technique. The pigmented gingival epithelium is surgically removed under local anesthesia to eliminate melanin pigmentation and improve gingival esthetics.
  • Dietary supplement Coenzyme Q10
    Coenzyme Q10 administered according to the study protocol following surgical gingival depigmentation to evaluate its effect on wound healing and gingival depigmentation.
  • Dietary supplement Vitamin C
    Vitamin C administered according to the study protocol following surgical gingival depigmentation to evaluate its effect on wound healing and gingival depigmentation.
  • Dietary supplement Surgical Gingival Depigmentation Coenzyme Q10 Vitamin C
    Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin c administered according to the study protocol following surgical gingival depigmentation to evaluate its effect on wound healing and gingival repigmentation.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in gingival pigmentation intensity using the Dummett Oral Pigmentation Index (DOPI). The DOPI scale from 0 to 3, where:0 = No clinical pigmentation ,1 = Mild pigmentation , 2 = Moderate pigmentation 3 = Heavy pigmentation [Time frame: 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. ,6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Systemically healthy patient of both genders aged from 18-45 years.
  • Presence of bilateral physiologic gingival pigmentation in the anterior maxillary or mandibular region DOPI grades III-IV only.
  • Good oral hygiene.
  • Thick gingival phenotype.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient clinically diagnosed with periodontitis.
  • Pregnant or lactating females.
  • Patient with previous treatment of gingival hyperpigmentation.
  • History of hypersensitivity to any study material.
  • Patients who are active or previous smokers.
