Summary

Laser labial frenectomy appears faster with better patient management compared to traditional scalpel methods. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings due to limited studies on laser frenectomy effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Dental technology

Background:

  • Labial frenectomy removes the frenulum when it causes issues like diastema or gingival recession.
  • Surgical options include scalpel, electrocautery, and lasers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of laser versus conventional scalpel techniques for labial frenectomy.
  • To investigate differences between various laser types used in the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Nine papers were analyzed for outcomes including bleeding, suture use, intervention duration, and analgesic use.

Main Results:

  • Laser labial frenectomy demonstrated faster procedure times.
  • Improved intraoperative and postoperative management was observed with laser techniques.
  • Limited available studies prevent definitive conclusions.

Conclusions:

  • Laser techniques show promise for improved efficiency and patient comfort in labial frenectomy.
  • Further high-quality research is necessary to establish definitive advantages of laser-assisted frenectomy.
