Frenectomy Using Diode Laser.
Artigo em Inglês | IMSEAR | ID: sea-156768
ABSTRACT
The labial frenum may impede oral hygiene and result in diastema between anterior teeth and traction of the attached gingiva. High coronal attachment is generally associated with a hypertrophy of the frenum. Labial frenectomy is a common surgical procedure in the field of oral surgery 1. Labial frenectomy is a procedure usually done for orthodontic reasons. Surgical removal of the frenum during puberty has been recommended for these patients 2. This article clinically evaluates the efficacy of a diode laser in removing the frenum in 10 patients using a diode laser at a power setting of 1.5 W or less in a continuous mode. The role of laser surgery in the oral cavity is well established. The use of diode laser in frenectomy has many advantages like no bleeding, no need for suture placement, and placement of orthodontic brackets that can be done on the same day itself.
