“…Moreover, this treatment is prolonged and has patient dependency. So, there pitfalls can be overcome by the use of laser therapy (Abraham and Lankupalli, 2014;Raval et al, 2011;Reddy et al, 2015;Soliman et al, 2005).…”

Laser intervention prevents recurrence and restricts malignant transformation, and also reduces post-operative dysfunctions. Post-laser therapy recurrence is reported as ranging from 7.7-38.1% and malignant transformation as ranging from 2.6-9% (Ishii et al., 2003; Ishii et al., 2004). The advantages of using laser in treatment of oral lesions includes; the haemostatic effect (giving a clear field of operation), brief therapeutic intervention, reduced traumatization of adjoining tissues (reduced inflammatory

Özet: Bu çalışmada konvansiyonel veya diyot lazer cerrahisi ile yapılan frenektomi işlemi sonrası konuşma ve çiğneme güçlüğü ile ağrı, VAS skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Diyot lazer ile yapılan frenektomi işleminin konvansiyonel cerrahiye göre daha ağrısız, daha konforlu ve hasta açısından daha tolere edilebilir bir yöntem olduğu bulunmuştur. Material-method:In this study, in totally 74 patients frenectomy procedure was indicated. 39 patients had frenectomy performed with conventional surgery (Group C) and 35 patients had frenectomy performed with laser surgery (Group L). None of the patients had systemic disease or any prescribed drug use. A VAS scale was prepared in order to evaluate pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing. All patients were informed about how to fill the form in detail and a form was given to each patient. All patients were recalled at 10 th day and VAS scale forms were recollected.Results: There were no significant differences in demographic data of the groups (p>0.05).Pain was found to be significantly higher in conventional group (p<0.05). Likewise, discomfort in speaking and chewing was also significantly lower in laser surgery group than conventional surgery (p<0.05). Conclusion:Diode laser frenectomy procedure caused lower pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing, and within the limitations of this study, based on these results it can be concluded that diode laser surgery had beneficial results in frenectomy procedure.

“…Studies evaluating the post-operative pain after diode laser surgery revealed that patients treated with the diode laser had less postoperative pain and discomfort with remarkable satisfactory results and healing compared to patients treated with the conventional technique. [35][36][37][38] Recently, Farista et al demonstrated that diode laser decreased VAS scores significantly than conventional surgery in crown lengthening. 36 In a study evaluating the effect of diode laser on depigmentation, El Shenawy et al stated that diode laser can be used as a safe and effective treatment modality to provide optimal aesthetics with reduced discomfort.…”

Aim: Frenulum is a sagittal fibrous fold of oral mucosa with a periosteal insertion that extends from the lip or cheek to the alveolar or gingival mucosa. Sometimes frenulums have high attachments and wide soft tissue folds and these high frenulums may cause functional and aesthetic problems. The aim of this study is evaluate the pain and discomfort in patients treated with conventional or diode laser frenectomy through VAS scale. Material-method: In this study, in totally 74 patients frenectomy procedure was indicated. 39 patients had frenectomy performed with conventional surgery (Group C) and 35 patients had frenectomy performed with laser surgery (Group L). None of the patients had systemic disease or any prescribed drug use. A VAS scale was prepared in order to evaluate pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing.
