The many uses for a soft tissue CO2 laser in orthodontics, such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, exposure of impacted teeth, and others, feature minimal blood loss and reduced discomfort for the patients...
ContinueThe 10.6 micrometers CO2 laser is an efficient and spatially accurate photo-thermal ablation tool with excellent coagulation efficiency due to the close match between coagulation depth and oral soft tissue blood capillary diameters...
ContinueLearn the science of how soft-tissue interacts with the CO2 laser beam, including: light absorption and scattering, tissue vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis, and why the wavelength is so important.
ContinueThe CO2 laser provides instant hemostasis with a minuscule zone of thermal injury, lack of need for sutures, reduced wound contraction, smooth healing, and only minor pain and discomfort reported...
ContinueLearn about the wavelength-dependent differences in photo-thermal ablation and coagulation efficiencies for oral soft tissue pulsed dental Near-IR Diode, Mid-IR Erbium and IR CO2 lasers.

ContinueLike many of you, when I finished dental school, I had some idea of what a tongue-tie is and how it can impact speech and possibly gum recession. But in four years of dental school, we had only one slide on tongue-tie treatment, and in pediatric residency, we read only one article on tongue-ties, which was already ten years old and outdated.
ContinueDozens of articles and studies have been published on the use of diode, Nd:YAG, and erbium lasers in scaling and root planning for the treatment of periodontitis. The JADA has
ContinueFind out why doctors choose the LightScalpel CO2 laser when performing functional frenectomies and frenuloplasties. This partial literature review emphasizes the importance of oro-myofunctional therapy and weighs the differences between the LightScalpel and other laser modalities when treating tethered oral tissues.
