N2 - Among the main techniques described in the literature for the treatment of gingival melanosis are the use of chemical agents, free gingival grafts, abrasion with rotary or manual instruments (scalpel), cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, and the use of lasers. The present study aims to perform a selective evaluation of therapeutic alternatives for gingival hyperpigmentation using neutrosophic correlation coefficients. For this purpose, a bibliographic review of the specialized documentary base was carried out to determine the main treatments for the object of study. Neutrosophic sets logic and expert evaluation were applied. The use of correlation coefficients between two single-valued neutrosophic numbers allowed the selection of a therapeutic alternative according to the experts' evaluations. The present study made it possible to verify the usefulness of neutrosophy as a means for the solution of complex real-life problems by incorporating indeterminacies.
