Lingual Frenectomy with Diode High-Power Laser in an Adult Patient: A Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie is a congenital dysfunction, characterized by abnormality of the lingual frenulum, where it can be adhered in a short form to the mouth floor or too close to the tip of the tongue generating difficulties to individuals [1-4]. The lingual frenulum is a normal anatomic structure characterized by being a median fold that connects the tongue to the mouth floor; is exclusively constituted by fibrous dense conjunctive tissue, besides superior fibers of the genioglossus muscle [2,5]. However, this structure is dynamic and modifiable, susceptible of changes on its shape, size and/or insertion during its embryonic formation [2,3].

متن کاملTreatment of lentigines by a novel high power diode laser at 755 nm: a case report
The use of high-power diode laser with a wavelength of 755 nm is an effective and safe method for the correction and partial and/or total elimination of pigmented lesions, specifically solar lentigines. This wavelength has yet not been used in diode lasers to treat solar lentigines. Side effects are the usual ones, including darkening and scab formation. Our patient was a 40-year-old woman of C...
متن کاملDiode laser assisted endodontic treatments in periapical lesions repair: case series
Background and Aim: Bacterial disinfection is considered as the primary etiology of pulpal and periapical lesions and as the result, adequate elimination of such infections is one of the purposes of root canal treatment; But since this purpose is impossible to achieve, reducing the bacterial load seems to be as a rational goal. Diode lasers have made their way into endodontics for better disinf...

Labial frenectomy is a common surgical procedure in the field of oral surgery. Labial frenectomy is a procedure usually done for orthodontic reasons. The role of laser surgery in the oral cavity is well established. The use of diode laser frenectomy without infiltrated anaesthesia is currently under investigation. Needle-less oral surgery, without infiltrated anaesthesia, is a novel situation i...
متن کاملLaser-Assisted Frenectomy Using 980nm Diode Laser
A frenum is a fold of tissue or muscle connecting the lips, cheek or tongue to the jawbone. Their high attachment may cause orthodontic problem (Central diastima), prosthodontic problems (Poor retention of denture), periodontic problems (gingival recession and inflammation) and speech problem (tongue tied in ligual frenum). A frenectomy is the removal of one of these folds of tissue and it is a...
