The LightScalpel CO₂ laser can be efficiently used in prosthodontics for procedures such as the hyperplastic gingival ablation, sulcular debridement, vestibuloplasty, etc. The ability of the surgical CO₂ laser to achieve hemostasis proves especially important for the following reasons: the laser helps maintain dry bloodless operatory field with excellent visibility; ability to see ensured precise tissue removal with very little collateral damage to the surrounding unaffected tissues; no sutures are required reducing overall surgery time. Patients report less post-op pain and swelling thus less analgesia is necessary. With bactericidal effects, many at-risk implants can be treated early, before too much of the supporting bone is lost.
