Abstract
Introduction and aim of study: numerous
reconstructive and regenerative periodontal plastic surgery techniques have
been used to treat gingival recession. Laser technology has provided the
ability to improve this procedure. Thus we decided to do laser periodontal
surgery and observe the outcome.
Description
evolution and discussion: This case series study contains 5 free gingival graft
treatments. First the recipient site was anesthetized and then deepithelialized by er,cr:ysgg
using 1w power to have a denuded site. Then on palate tracing of suitable sized
graft was done by the same laser, defocused on minimum power of 0.25w power. next step was achieving incision of palate using 1.5w
power(24%water,34%air).then using the same power but without air and water helped
us to coagulate the area. Inside of the tissue was trimmed by er,cr:ysgg laser. To perform root
modification of the involved tooth we used 0.75w power. Finally the graft was
placed on recipient site ,sutured and packed for
followed by two weeks antibiotic administration. To decrease post operative
pain and accelerate the healing, Scanning of graft harvested site was done by
632 nm low level diode laser at 2 j/cm2 doses for 9days. Discussion: in the present study, the patients were
followed for the periods at 1 month,6 months, 1year, 4years and in 1 case
5years.we observed maximum amount of patient satisfaction and also soft tissue
on recipient site and bone damage was minimum. Healing time was similar to
conventional methods.
