Complaints of \u201cblack gums\u201d are common, and demands for depigmentation are usually made for esthetic reasons. In this case report, a cryosurgical depigmentation procedure is described and the effectiveness and complications of cryosurgery are examined.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Case Presentation:<\/jats:bold> A 40\u2010year\u2010old, systemically healthy female presented with esthetic problems associated with GMP. Cryosurgery was performed from the midline by cross\u2010segments from canine to canine for the treatment of maxillary and mandibular gingival tissues. One month after the cryosurgery procedure, a bone sequestrum became apparent between the mandibular right central incisor and canine, and it was removed from the area. A 2\u2010mm gingival recession was observed 1 month after the surgery to remove the sequestrum.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Methods such as cryosurgery seem to be effective in the treatment of GMP. Various complications can be observed in the application of cryosurgical procedures, such as infection, hemorrhage, recession, and pain. Anatomic structures of the pigmented sites, the width of the gingiva, the length of the keratinized gingiva, the dose, and application distance of cryosurgenic gas must be carefully considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/cap.2013.120124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,24]],"date-time":"2013-06-24T02:58:04Z","timestamp":1372042684000},"page":"56-60","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Complication After Cryosurgery Treatment for Gingival Melanin Pigmentation: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Mustafa","family":"\u00d6zcan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S\u0131la Cagr\u0131","family":"\u0130\u015fler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suleyman","family":"Bozkaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00f6nen","family":"\u00d6zcan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2007.060167"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.92580"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"314","article-title":"Addison's disease, autoimmunity and mumps","volume":"66","author":"Colls BM","year":"1967","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(64)90504-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"Gingival pigmentation associated with antimalarial drugs","volume":"28","author":"Manor A","year":"1981","journal-title":"Refuat Hapeh Vehashinayim"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.84387"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","first-page":"312","article-title":"Treatment of gingival pigmentation and discoloration for esthetic purposes","volume":"10","author":"Farnoosh AA","year":"1990","journal-title":"Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","first-page":"85","article-title":"Melanin repigmentation after gingivectomy: A 5\u2010year clinical and transmission electron microscopic study in humans","volume":"13","author":"Bergamaschi O","year":"1993","journal-title":"Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","first-page":"555","article-title":"Treatment of severe physiologic gingival pigmentation with free gingival autograft","volume":"27","author":"Tamizi M","year":"1996","journal-title":"Quintessence Int"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","first-page":"649","article-title":"Electrosurgery in dentistry","volume":"29","author":"Gnanasekhar JD","year":"1998","journal-title":"Quintessence Int"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/cap.2011.100007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2006.08.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1079-2104(98)90199-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-0960.1999.00356.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0738-081X(02)00265-1"}],"container-title":["Clinical Advances in Periodontics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1902\/cap.2013.120124","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,9]],"date-time":"2025-10-09T19:41:15Z","timestamp":1760038875000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1902\/cap.2013.120124"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,2]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1902\/cap.2013.120124"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1902\/cap.2013.120124","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2573-8046","2163-0097"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2573-8046"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2163-0097"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,2]]}}}
