Effects on oral soft tissue produced by a diode laser in vitro

Abstract: Background and Objectives: This investigation determined incision characteristics and soft-tissue damage resulting from standardized incisions using a wide range of laser modes and parameters of a diode laser at 810 nm. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Histologic examinations were performed to verify vertical and horizontal tissue damage as well as incision depth and width. Results: Incision depth and width correlated strongly with average powers, but not with laser parameters or the used tips. No laser dam… Show more

“…These advantages include greater precision, a relatively bloodless surgical and postsurgical course, sterilization of the surgical area, minimal swelling and scarring, coagulation, vaporization, cutting, minimal or no suturing, and less or no postsurgical pain. [78]…”

“…Lasers possess remarkable tissue-cutting ability and provide rapid haemostasis. Lasers with the cutting of tissues also generate a coagulated tissue layer along the surgical wound which promotes healing [59]. These properties of lasers make the management of drug-induced gingival overgrowth accurate, bloodless operative phase, less painful post-operative phase, minimal oedema and scarring [60] and avoid need of periodontal dressing.…”
