Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of methylene blue and methylene blue nanoparticles as adjuncts to photodynamic therapy in laser treatment of physiological gingival pigmentation. The study evaluates pigmentation reduction, recurrence rates, healing time, and patient satisfaction. Conducted at Kafrelsheikh University, it includes three patient groups: laser-only treatment, conventional methylene blue-assisted PDT with laser, and methylene blue nanoparticles-assisted PDT with laser. The findings will contribute to advancements in aesthetic dentistry and laser-assisted depigmentation techniques.
