Summary
Diode laser frenectomy offers a minimally invasive approach for abnormal inferior labial frenum removal. This laser treatment provides effective results with faster healing and reduced patient discomfort compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Laser Surgery
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Abnormal inferior labial frenum can cause gingival margin recession.
- Traditional frenectomy may involve bleeding, pain, and scarring.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness and benefits of diode laser for inferior labial frenum removal.
Main Methods:
- A 32-year-old female patient underwent diode laser frenectomy (940 nm wavelength).
- The procedure involved removing frenum mucosa and underlying connective and muscle fibers.
- Local anesthetic and sutures were not required.
Main Results:
- The wound healed effectively without scarring.
- The patient experienced no pain or bleeding during healing.
- No complications, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatories were needed.
Conclusions:
- Diode laser frenectomy is an effective alternative to traditional surgery.
- Laser treatment offers significant patient advantages, including reduced discomfort and improved healing.
