Laser Excision of Buccal Mucosal Growth: A Case Report.

The mucosal tissues are prone to overgrowths as hyperplasia or hypertrophy, which present a spectrum of clinical challenges. These lesions are located at different sites and differ in size and pathology related to their origin. They present as solitary nodules of pink or red on the tongue, gingiva, buccal mucosa and other oral tissues.

Comparative Evaluation of Effectiveness of Omega-3 Fatty Acids as an Adjunct to SRP with Conventional SRP: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Aim: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of "omega-3 fatty acids" as an auxiliary to "scaling and root planing (SRP)" with traditional "scaling and root planing" in periodontal treatment in humans.

Materials And Methods: This study is a randomized control trial and was carried out over a period of 3 months (registered on 02/07/2023). Thirty patients were singled out according to the inclusion criteria, each having periodontitis (Stage II Grade B), and were arbitrarily distributed into two groups (control and test).

Laser Depigmentation: A Case Report.

The pigmented lesions of the oral cavity may be endogenous or exogenous. Among the options for depigmenting these areas, laser therapy stands out for being a minimally invasive procedure. This study aims to report a clinical case of the gingival depigmentation technique using a high-power diode laser in the anterior maxillary region, for the ablation of the pigmented tissue to improve gingival aesthetics.

Labial Frenectomy Using Conventional Scalpel Technique: A Case Report.

Frenum morphology is of pivotal concern while treating patients who desire improved aesthetics and for treating patients with midline diastemas, as it may lead to failure or relapse of orthodontic treatment. Frenum, a thick band of muscle fiber, may present with abnormalities in the shape, size, form, number, and thickness, which may cause gingival recession along with poor oral health. Frenectomy is adopted as the plan of action while treating abnormal frenum cases by resecting the frenum attachment to provide closure of the spacing between the upper anterior teeth, as in the case of midline diastema.

Maxillary Labial Double Frenum Frenectomy Using a Diode Laser: A Case Report.

Maxillary labial frenectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing midline diastema, where a strip of tissue creating a gap between two upper front teeth is removed. Typically, this strip extends from the vestibule of the gingivobuccal sulcus to the attached gingiva. The procedure is often performed using a diode laser, offering benefits including simplicity and safety for the patients.

Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontal Diseases.

Periodontal disease, a significant worldwide health burden, is characterized by chronic inflammation and destruction of periodontal tissues, including the cementum, periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and gingival tissue. Recent research has linked the development and progression of periodontal disease to oxidative stress. This study provides comprehensive explanations of the mechanisms behind oxidative stress in periodontal disease, with a focus on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their effects on periodontal tissues.

Conventional Scalpel Technique for Frenectomy During Orthodontic Treatment: A Case Report.

Frenum aberrations in the maxillary and mandibular regions are pivotal concerns, particularly regarding midline diastema and gingival health. The frenum is composed predominantly of collagenous and elastic fibers. There are various frenal attachment anomalies that may result in gingival recession.

Laser-Assisted Treatment for Maxillary Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma: A Case Report.

Most odontogenic tumors are intraosseous growths. A peripheral odontogenic fibroma presents as a slow-growing and firm swelling on the gingiva. It develops more commonly on the mandibular than the maxillary region.

Laser-Assisted Lingual Frenectomy: A Case Report.

A lingual frenectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing "tongue-tie" or ankyloglossia, where a strip of tissue restricting tongue movement is removed. Typically, this strip extends from the bottom of the mouth to the underside of the tongue. The procedure, often performed using a diode laser, offers several advantages including simplicity and safety for patients.
