Laser ablation is one of the most reliable, pleasant, and effective methods for gingival depigmentation. It has been shown that chromophore tissue components may absorb laser photon energy. Melanin, hemoglobin, related pigmented proteins, hydroxyapatite, and scales comprise oral tissue chromophores. Using databases including PubMed, Medline, and ScienceDirect, a systematic review of the literature spanning 2010 to 2023 was conducted. "Soft tissue," "dental laser," and "systematic review" were the main phrases chosen. The procedure for choosing the articles to be searched for was illustrated using a PRISMA flowchart. The systematic review covered a total of 10 investigations, of which 9 studies showed that the use of lasers produces results that are noticeably superior to those of surgical techniques. Soft tissue lasers are a good choice of method used in esthetic dental treatments, and they can be a successful substitute to the conventional dental procedures which increase the chance of infection and inflammation.
