Clinical application of 940nm Diode laser to remove mandibular labial frenum
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: A frenum that encroaches on the gingival margin may interfere with plaque removal. Tension on frenum may open the gingival sulcus. In this kind of cases, surgical removal of frenum is indicated. The surgical removal can be performed either with a scalpel, electrocautery or lasers. Case report: A 17 year old patient with a chief complaint of bleeding gums from lower front teeth was referred to department of Periodontology. After careful and detailed evaluation, frenectomy with a diode laser at 940nm, in continuous wave mode was planned for the patient. Results: The patient experienced normal healing process with no post operative complications. Favorable outcome of laser surgery was observed on follow up session. Conclusion: Diode laser has shown to be one of the excellent options for performing this surgery with better bleeding controls, excellent precision, less discomfort and shorter healing time.
