“…8 Although different techniques are possibly employed (scalpels, electrosurgery, and lasers), HPLs seem to be equally efficient or superior to scalpels. 7 Many studies reported the use of HPL in oral soft tissues, with good results, and this is the first report of this technique in these patients.…”

Barber-Say syndrome (BSS) is extremely rare, caused by a genetic mutation in the TWIST2 gene characterized by significant dysmorphology, affecting less than 20 people worldwide. 1 The most common oral complications, described in literature, are taurodontism, macrostomia, and retention of tooth eruption caused by gingival fibromatosis (GF). 1,2 The GF is also a rare condition and characterized by pathological, diffuse, or local gingival overgrowth. This condition may be related to hereditary factors associated with syndromes or as a non-syndromic hereditary gingival fibromatosis, it can also develop as a side effect of anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, or calcium channel blockers, and it is essential to note that it is not related to intellectual disability. 2Gingival fibromatosis leads to functional, esthetic, and psychological issues, such as partial or total coverage of the dental crowns causing poor positioning and prolonged retention of the teeth. 3 It usually interferes with speech, lip sealing, and chewing, but above all, it can become a psychological burden and affect the patient's self-esteem. 3,4

“…However, when comparing the use of diode lasers with standard mechanical treatment, other researchers did not support similar results. Regarding the evaluation of clinical parameters, two research papers con- The effects of diode laser (808 nm; 1 W, 20 PPS, 20 s/tooth, 10 J) as a monotherapy or as an adjuvant therapy to the SRP mechanical treatment in the treatment of experimental periodontitis were assessed in an animal experiment done by Theodoro LH et al [17] [19]. When diode laser was utilized in conjunction with SRP, there was a larger reduction in alveolar bone loss, inflammation, and speeding up the process of repairing periodontal tissue [23].…”

Introduction: The use of lasers is an emerging therapy in periodontology, however, controversies regarding its use. Despite the vast amount of literature that is currently available, debates regarding the use of lasers in periodontal therapy continue. This review aims to summarize and clarify the myths surrounding the use of lasers in periodontal therapy, which may offer new hope for the treatment's future. Methods: A comprehensive computer-based search was done using various databases like PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library. Results: Laser therapy has influenced periodontal treatment in many aspects. The advantages of laser over conventional instruments were reported, which include pain relief, inflammation reduction, tissue repair acceleration, wound healing, reduction of scar formation, removal of granulation tissue and epithelial lining, and treatment of periodontal pockets. Today, the laser starts to get more people's attention. However, an evidence-based approach to using lasers in periodontal treatment must be developed. The potential risks associated with lasers should also be considered. There must be careful and strict safety precautions implemented. Conclusion: Although laser therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of periodontal disease, further research is needed before the clinical use of lasers in evidence-based practice. Further long-term studies and clinical studies in human models are needed to generalize laser therapy in periodontology.

“…The absorption of laser irradiation by biological tissues depends on the presence of proteins, pigments, water-free molecules and other macromolecules. 19 Scientific evidence has shown that the use of DL on a root surface should be performed with caution, in an interrupted mode and with appropriate parameters, in order not to promote pulp damage. 5 The clinical effects of DL when used as adjunctive therapy to SRP were evaluated in several studies.…”

“…It is also associated with the effects produced by the impact on the treated tissue, of the water released by the emitter. 19 A recent study demonstrated that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser as an adjunctive therapy further reduces clinical inflammation after 1 and 3 months of treatment, when compared to isolated non-surgical periodontal therapy, but there are no differences in the reduction of IL-1B and MMP-8. 44 Power of 1.5 W is considered appropriate for root calculus removal without promoting significant morphological changes.…”

LASER in periodontal treatment: is it an effective treatment or science fiction?

et al. 2021

There are several studies that evaluate the use of lasers in periodontal treatment in non-surgical or surgical therapy. However, while several studies showed clinically beneficial effects of some lasers in periodontal treatment, there are few clinical reports of additional advantages of lasers as adjunctive treatments in periodontology. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and critically analyze the level of scientific evidence of effects of low-level lasers and high-power lasers in periodontology. A narrative review of the studies was carried out in each topic and type of laser or periodontal treatment. In nonsurgical periodontal therapy the results showed that there is an additional clinical benefit when using a diode laser (DL) associated with scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. The Er:YAG laser seems to be the most suitable for nonsurgical periodontal therapy and promotes the same clinical effects as conventional therapy. In periodontal surgery vaporization of the gingival or mucosal tissue can be carried out with DL, CO 2 , Nd:YAG, Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers. Photobiomodulation (PBM), mediated by low-level lasers associated with non-surgical periodontal therapy, promotes additional benefits in the short term and accelerates the bone and gingival tissue repair process and also reduces postoperative symptoms of periodontal surgery. The effect of antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy is relevant in the initial reevaluation periods. Studies have shown controversial results of the use of lasers in periodontics, and this fact may be due to the lack of standard parameters of irradiation in each clinical application.
