“…On the seventh postoperative day, this difference was statistically non-significant. Singh et al 36 describe that in their study, the pain was significantly less for the diode laser. They say that the reason for less or no postoperative pain is due to the sealing of the sensory nerve endings with the heat of the laser beam.…”

Context and Objective: Scalpel has been the gold standard tool for intraoral surgery. Since a few decades, lasers have also stepped up as operating instruments, be it cutting, ablation or photobiomodulation. In our research, we compared the efficacy of scalpel and diode laser in intraoral maxillofacial surgery. Setting and Design: In the duration of 3 years, a total of 100 patients were included in our study which were divided into two groups of 50 patients each; 50 in the test group for scalpel and 50 in the control group for laser. Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria includes clinically diagnosed intraoral soft tissue lesions/growth indicative of tissue ablation, incision, excision, or biopsy. Exclusion criteria: Non consenting and/or non-cooperative patients. Presence of uncontrolled or advanced systemic diseases, immunocompromising diseases, porphyria or medications that cause photosensitivity (eg. Chloroquine, methotrexate etc) and serious eye defects. Results: While laser provided a clean surgical field by facilitating haemostasis during bleeding, its healing time was slower as compared to laser during the first postoperative week. 2% Lignocaine HCl with 1:80000 adrenaline was used as a local anaesthetic agent. Swelling and redness were both found to be pronounced in scalpel as opposed to laser which produced a coagulum ring of eschar formation during cutting. Discussion: Scalpel offers unmatched precision and speed during surgery. Its only drawback is bleeding which may be inconvenient for the surgeon. Laser not only clears the surgical field of the operator but also reduces the risk of bleeding from highly vascular areas like the tongue.The heat from the laser tip negates any additional measures required for cleaning. Summary and Conclusions:The 980 nm diode laser promises versatility and surgical efficacy during intraoral maxillofacial procedures and can be a good alternative to the conventional cold scalpel, offering equal patient satisfaction.

“…The heat generated from the laser beam seals the sensory nerve endings which are responsible for the decreased or an absent post-operative pain. [ 13 ] Thus reduction in pain perception following laser application is due to the nerve endings becoming unable to form anastomosis with one another. [ 14 ] Diode laser frenectomy offers a sutureless surgical field and leaves the area raw.…”

“…[ 15 ] Traditional scalpel procedure leaves a longitudinal surgical incision and scarring, whereas laser induced wounds heal with secondary intention and no scar formation because of the defined, clean wound and low level of wound contraction caused by laser irradiation. [ 13 ]…”

“…Diode lasers during operation, while performing the incision, some fumes get released from vaporization of epithelium with a burning smell, which can arise stress in the patient, and it is necessary to operate with a powerful air evacuator to alleviate this complication is another disadvantage dealt with. [ 13 ] With the use of lasers, dissection of the entire muscle fibers from the periosteum is not possible thus, making possibilities of reattachment of the frenum. [ 12 ]…”

Aim: This is an era of minimally invasive and least traumatic surgical interventions being focused on. The traditional scalpel frenectomy technique offers an increase in post-operative sequelae. To unravel this scenario a comparative evaluation is carried out to find out the clinical outcomes and quality of life after maxillary labial frenectomy using a conventional scalpel and diode laser frenectomy of 980 nm. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six subjects age ranging between 18 and 45 years reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, MES Dental College, Perinthalmanna with an aberrant frenal attachment of maxillary labial frenum were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A underwent the conventional scalpel technique and group B for the diode laser-assisted (980 nm) frenectomy technique. The post-operative parameters of ooze from the surgical site, pain, wound healing, and discomfort or acceptance of the procedure were assessed on day 1, day 7, and day 14, respectively. Results: The diode laser group exhibited statistically significant clinical and healing outcomes. Less pain, minimal or absent ooze, increased healing, and better acceptance of the procedure with diode laser at 1, 7, and 14 days recall visit. Conclusion: Surgical interventions involving needle puncture and the associated post-operative sequelae are the most dreaded experiences that make patients indifferent toward surgical treatments. Thus in terms of better clinical outcomes and improved quality of life diode laser frenectomy is an excellent alternative wherein a needleless anesthetic success followed by minimal surgical intervention and less post-operative sequelae with fast recovery is possible.
