Purpose : This case report aims to explain how to achieve esthetical and functional demands in gingival enlargement and gingival hyperpigmentation case with gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation. Case: This surgical procedure aim to retain esthetical and functional demands. Case Management: An 18-years-old male presenting with maxillary chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement associated with prolonged orthodontic therapy is reported.

Surgical therapy was performed to provide a better aesthetic outcome and prevent plaque retention. Conclusion: The combination of gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation can resolve gingival enlargement and gingival hyperpigmentation perfectly with close proximity to the ideal gingival condition.
