“…The procedure requires no suturing and reduces bacteria and healing time. [5,8,9] Wound repair can be investigated with the aid of various molecules that reveal healing activity and amount of inflammation (AI). One of these molecules is nitric oxide (NO), a short-lived free radical gas synthesized from L-arginine by a family of enzymes known as NO synthases (NOSs).…”

Electrosurgery in aesthetic and restorative dentistry: A literature review and case reports

2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Electrosurgery has been used in dentistry for more than half a century. There is abundant literature on electrosurgery dating back more than a century. During the past three decades, a substantial increase in minimally invasive surgery and microvascular surgery prompted greater use of electrosurgery. Although this surge in utilization has resulted in new applications, equipment features, problems and solutions, the use of electrosurgery in the field of restorative dentistry has remained relatively unchanged. The presence of conflicting and sometimes confusing information on electrosurgical wound healing in the dental literature is the most likely reason. This article briefly explains the literature review of electrosurgery and clinical application of electrosurgery in aesthetic and restorative dentistry.

“…The effects of electrosurgery (ES) on histoarchitecture vary depending on the power output [4] and frequency [5] of ES unit, waveform selection [6], and shape and size of active electrode [7]. It is well observed that wound healing for electrosurgery delays through comparative studies for electrosurgical and scalpel wounds [8].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an immunomodulatory protein (Ling Zhi-8, LZ-8) on wound healing in rat liver tissues after monopolar electrosurgery. Animals were sacrificed for evaluations at 0, 3, 7, and 28 days postoperatively. It was found that the wound with the LZ-8 treatment significantly increases wound healing. Western blot analysis clearly indicated that the expression of NF-κB was decreased at 3, 7, and 28 days when liver tissues were treated with LZ-8. Moreover, caspase-3 activity of the liver tissue also significantly decreases at 7 and 28 days, respectively. DAPI staining and TUNEL assays revealed that only a minimal dispersion of NF-κB was found on the liver tissue treated with LZ-8 at day 7 as compared with day 3 and tissues without LZ-8 treatment. Similarly, apoptosis was decreased on liver tissues treated with LZ-8 at 7 days when compared to the control (monopolar electrosurgery) tissues. Therefore, the analytical results demonstrated that LZ-8 induced acceleration of wound healing in rat liver tissues after monopolar electrosurgery.
