Area of Science:

Dentistry
Periodontology
Laser Dentistry

Background:

Tooth transposition is an ectopic eruption where adjacent teeth swap positions.
Abnormal gingival contour, including the gingival zenith, can negatively impact dental esthetics.
Gingivectomy is a standard procedure for correcting abnormal gingival contours.

Observation:

A 940 nm diode laser was employed for precise gingival tissue incision.
The laser facilitated the correction of the gingival zenith.
Post-operative outcomes included rapid healing and reduced discomfort.

Findings:

The diode laser enabled precise correction of the gingival zenith.
This technological approach achieved optimal esthetics following orthodontic treatment.
The procedure minimized the need for periodontal packing or sutures.

Implications:

Contemporary laser technology offers an effective method for esthetic gingival contouring.
Diode lasers provide a minimally invasive option for correcting gingival zenith abnormalities.
This approach enhances patient outcomes in post-orthodontic esthetic dental care.
