“…But the main drawback is the cost and difficulty in its handling, which makes the practitioners prefer the diode laser. 13 Similar to the CO2 laser, the wavelength of the erbium laser makes its penetration less into the tissue, hence the injury caused by it is comparatively less than that of diode lasers, thus giving a faster recovery result. Diode lasers have been considered safe compared to Nd: YAG lasers as the collateral damage caused by the Nd: YAG laser is greater than the diode laser because of its wavelength and penetrating depth.…”

In the realm of dentistry, lasers make it possible to administer numerous treatment modalities more effectively, leading to successful outcomes in the majority of cases. Numerous applications of lasers in general practice and implantology have been shown to be more efficient than traditional ones. Dental professionals are better able to choose the ideal wavelength and mode for various patients during clinical procedures when they have a complete understanding of lasers, their features, and mechanisms of action. Lasers have been used in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including pain management, the removal of soft tissue lesions, crown lengthening, sulcus uncovering operations in implantology, etc. This article shows the application of diode lasers successfully in various dental treatment procedures.

“…Furthermore, Cano-Durán et al showed that diode laser treatment of oral soft-tissue enlargement can facilitate improvements in intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, patient compliance, and wound healing [ 24 ].…”

“…Diode laser treatment has been successfully used to expose incisor and canine teeth; it has also been used to perform gingivectomy and frenectomy [ 22 ]. The use of a diode laser to treat oral soft-tissue enlargement has several advantages including less intraoperative bleeding, decreased postoperative pain, patient compliance, and more rapid wound healing [ 23 , 24 ]; however, it has been reported that diode lasers produce greater tissue damage compared with the conventional scalpel and the erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet lasers [ 25 ]. Here, we describe the short-term effects on periodontal parameters resulting from the use of a 975-nm diode laser to remove benign PGCG from the oral mucosa of the anterior mandibular teeth in a 39-year-old woman; we also describe the duration of wound healing and the quality of tissue preservation for histological analysis.…”

Patient: Female, 39-year-old Final Diagnosis: Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) Symptoms: Gingival overgrowth and difficulty chewing Clinical Procedure: Treated by surgical intervention Specialty: Dentistry Objective: Unknown etiology Background: Peripheral giant cell granuloma, or epulis, is a common and benign oral lesion that can grow rapidly. Diode lasers are increasingly used to excise soft-tissue lesions because the technique preserves tissue for histopathology while controlling bleeding. Here, we report the excision of a 2-cm benign peripheral giant cell granuloma of the oral mucosa by 975-nm infrared diode laser, with rapid wound healing and good tissue preservation for histological analysis. Case Report: A 39-year-old woman presented with a large red-purple lesion in the oral mucosa of the lower jaw, near teeth 41 and 32. According to the patient, despite the absence of pain, the lesion caused difficulty while eating, speaking, and maintaining oral hygiene. The periodontal assessment included the following parameters: clinical attachment level, gingival recession, pocket probing depth, Loe-Silness gingival index, and tooth mobility index. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia using a 975-nm diode laser, and histopathology reports confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma. Six weeks after removal of the peripheral giant cell granuloma, all periodontal parameters were improved except for clinical attachment level and gingival recession. Conclusions: Excision by 975-nm infrared diode laser can maintain tissue integrity for histopathology while allowing complete excision and control of bleeding. Soft lasers can provide advantages such as reduced bleeding, less operative and postoperative pain, decreased mechanical trauma, increased patient acceptability, and rapid wound healing without sutures, and they can be used to successfully remove peripheral giant cell granulomas.
