Clinical Assessment of the Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure in the Management of Isolated Gingival Recession

The aim of this randomized, controlled split-mouth clinical trial was to assess the effect LLLT on wound healing after modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) procedure for treatment isolated recession-type defects. Fifteen patients with bilaterally symmetrical gingival recessions (Miller’s Class I or II, a combination both) were enrolled in study. After modified, technique implemented, diode laser (810 nm) power 120 mW irradiated inner surface and outer (low-level therapy—LLLT) suturing 5 min. This repeated following four consecutive days. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis test Mann–Whitney performed analyze data. A p-value less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. mean recession depth decreased from 3.33 ± 0.9 mm (baseline) 0.2 0.3 (3 months) 0.4 (6 group. width 3.8 0.7 0.5 Due minimal pain discomfort, patient acceptability quite high.
