Proper orofacial function in patients can be restored through an extensive functional release of restrictive lingual frenum. The functional release is achieved through the SuperPulse CO2 laser frenectomy accompanied by the tongue mobility assessment; and mandatory OMT.

The many uses for a soft tissue CO2 laser in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, exposure of impacted teeth, and others, feature minimal blood loss and reduced discomfort for the patients.
ContinueThe functional laser frenuloplasty consists of the following three equally important parts: methodical pre-frenuloplasty OMT, CO2 laser release with the frequent assessment of the tongue mobility and the presence of tension, and methodical post–frenuloplasty OMT.
ContinueThis article reports clinical cases of a Functional Frenectomy with the CO2 laser and includes, in addition to pre- and post-frenectomy OMT, a pre- and post-surgical systematic bodywork performed by a chiropractor, to achieve long-lasting functional results.
ContinueIn this case short implants were used to allow for a fixed prosthesis. A variety of technologies, including the LightScalpel laser, helped facilitate ideal implant placement and were welcomed adjuncts for this case.
ContinueIn this publication Dr. Riek and Dr. Vitruk review common myths about the use of CO2 lasers in dentistry, surgery, and in the frenectomy procedure.

ContinueThis article addresses the control over the Depth of Incision, and the Depth of Coagulation / Hemostasis during a CO2 laser frenectomy, and illustrates these concepts through a Case Study: the revision of a tongue tie that was previously released with a hot tip diode.
ContinueSee two case studies by Martin Kaplan, DMD, as he uses his 10,600-nm CO2 laser to perform frenectomies in pediatric patients.
ContinueThe LightScalpel Laser User Symposium brought together clinicians from different fields of dentistry and medicine. This event was a unique opportunity for the exchange of interdisciplinary ideas with the goal of
ContinueA tongue-tie functional release includes mandatory pre- and post myofunctional therapy and the CO2 laser frenectomy, preferably under topical anesthesia and combined with Tongue Movement Assessment to achieve optimal function.
