Assessment of Healing after Diode Laser Gingivectomy Prior to Prosthetic Procedures

The current pilot study investigates the effects following removal of excessive gingival tissue, which is often necessary in fixed prosthodontic cases. aim to assess healing after diode laser gingivectomy prior prosthetic procedures. Materials and methods: process gingiva 41 teeth was assessed. parameters were examined: recovery time gingiva, possibility take impression at same visit, duration manipulation, bleeding during procedure, tissue adherence instrument, postoperative hemorrhage on probing, pain, wound regard color, contour, appearance wound. Results: At 24th hour, all wounds covered with fibrinous plaque an erythematous halo. 72nd two cases (4.9%), this wound’s characteristic had already passed through next stage—granulated surface normal pale pink color. A granulated 1st week reported 10 (24.4%) cases, other 31 (75.6%) complete reported. In second week, surfaces a Bleeding self-limiting most negligible from clinical point view. pain levels low or nonexistent. There lack probing first examined Tissue terms asymptomatic. Conclusion: within limitations study, outcomes aided clinicians perform procedures visit.
