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 use of laser technology in the surgical and dental industries is quickly growing, thanks in part to developments that are making them easier to use than ever before.
ContinueProper 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.
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
ContinueThis article focuses on a carbon dioxide laser vestibular extension procedure performed in a patient with Klinefelter syndrome, which is caused by a chromosomal abnormality.
ContinueClinical efficacy is largely based on the CO2 laser's excellent coagulation properties because of the close match between coagulation depth and gingival blood-capillary diameters. The CO2 laser also minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, reduces postoperative swelling and edema, and lowers the risks of complications, making it a superb surgical solution for mucocele removal.
