Histologic Evaluation of Effect of Three Wavelengths of Diode Laser on Human Gingival Margins.

Available evidence suggests that the response of the intervened tissue is directly linked to the effects generated by the cutting instrument used. To determine the histological findings in gingival tissue margins excised through gingivectomies performed using 450 nm, 940 nm, and 980 nm diode lasers. The present study aimed to determine the histological findings in gingival tissue margins excised through gingivectomies performed using 450 nm, 940 nm, and 980 nm diode lasers.

Success Rate of Benign Oral Squamous Papilloma Treatments After Different Surgical Protocols (Conventional, Nd:YAG, CO and Diode 980 nm Lasers): A 34-Year Retrospective Study.

The aim of our retrospective study is to compare the long-term recurrence rate of the benign oral squamous papilloma (OSP) with different laser-assisted treatments and conventional procedures (use of scalpels) aiming to suggest the most suitable surgical protocol showing the lowest recurrence rate. A retrospective multicenter DATA collection between 1985 and 2019 covering 781 OSP cases concerning different surgical protocols used for the treatment of OSP was done and included the use of different laser wavelengths [neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG), carbon dioxide (CO), and Diode 980 nm] and the conventional surgeries using the scalpel. The age, sex, and the oral location of the OSP were noted.

Salivary gland choristoma in the buccinator muscle: A case report and literature review.

Unlabelled: Salivary gland choristoma (SGCh) is defined as the presence of normal salivary tissue in an abnormal location. It is a rare entity in oral and maxillofacial region and its ethiology is unknown. The typical presentation of salivary gland heterotopia is an asymptomatic mass that may or may not produce saliva.

Endoluminal sclerosis with diode laser in the treatment of orofacial venous malformations.

Introduction: The appearance of vascular anomalies in the orofacial area is a common condition, which represents about 50% of these malformations. Traditional treatment approach, such as surgery and chemical sclerosis has been given way to a few less-invasive options, as the use of the 810 nm diode laser to induce the sclerosis of the venous malformation by intralesional photocoagulation.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the diode laser in the intralesional treatment of the orofacial venous malformations (OFVM), describing the recommended surgical approach, as well as to report the main associated complications.

Advantages and esthetic results of erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser application in second-stage implant surgery in patients with insufficient gingival attachment: a report of three cases.

Traditional implant placement involves two surgical stages. Although the second stage is comparatively less aggressive for the patient, postoperative pain and swelling can be further reduced by the use of laser instead of a scalpel. Correct handling of peri-implant soft tissue is of major importance in obtaining adequate gingival tissue attachment around implants.

Treatment of oral mucocele-scalpel versus CO2 laser.

Objective: To compare the results obtained after oral mucocele resection with the scalpel versus the CO2 laser, based on the complications and recurrences after surgery.

Patients And Methods: Of the 68 patients we studied who have mucocele, 38 were resected with a scalpel and the remaining 30 with the CO2 laser (5-7 W). Patient sex and age were documented, along with location of the lesion as well as size, symptoms, duration, etiological factors, type of treatment, complications and recurrences after surgical removal.

Erbium:YAG laser application in the second phase of implant surgery: a pilot study in 20 patients.

Purpose: Conventional implant dentistry implies 2 surgical stages. In this context, pain is often present in the second stage, despite the fact that it is comparatively less aggressive for the patient. The present pilot study proposes application of Erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser for second-stage implant surgery.
