Background: The trends in the treatment of orodental problems have been changed over the time. They state face is the index of mind and smile makes a mark. In to days time every individual is fixated about a perfect smile and lips redefine your smile so depigmentation of lips have been a arising thing now. There are fundamentally two lines of treatment with regards to hyperpigmented lips, one is evacuation of shades as for this situation report, the melanin was taken out by photothermal ablation of melanocytes causing the pigmentation and the other line of treatment incorporates lasting lip shading where in the shading colors are inked on the lips, which fundamentally is tied in with making a concealing impact.
Aim: The aim of this case report was to perform depigmentation of lopsided lips using diode laser.
Materials and methods: Dental surgical diode laser 980 nm (DENLASE 980nm/7) was used, a 400 µm 7 mm length surgical disposable tip was used. The power was set at 1W and continuous mode. Depigmentation of used was performed using diode laser
Conclusion: Pinkification of lopsided lips using 980nm diode laser gave excellent esthetic results.
