Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of Er:YAG and diode lasers
in gingival depigmentation by synthesizing existing literature on their clinical effectiveness, and patient
satisfaction (patients’ discomfort during treatment in terms of pain, and bleeding during the procedure). Materials
and Methods: The literature review was carried out utilizing the Medline (through PubMed), Embase, Web of
Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Following the aggregation of articles from these diverse sources,
duplicates were recognized and removed based on similarities in title, author, and publication year. This was
succeeded by a screening process involving the title and abstract, followed by a thorough examination of the full
text of the articles. Data extraction was conducted using the articles that passed the final screening.
