This 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.

ContinueThe CO2 laser is the best suited soft-tissue surgical laser for the frenectomy procedure because, both cutting and hemostasis is achieved photo-thermally (radiantly). We answer some of the most commonly asked questions about laser frenectomies with the LightScalpel surgical / dental laser.
ContinueClinically efficient CO2 laser-assisted, closed flap peri-implantitis treatment protocol is detailed in this report. Also presented is the physics of the laser wavelength and pulsing effects on laser-tissue and laser-implant interaction...
ContinueThe CO2 laser was efficiently used for the hyperplastic gingival ablation and sulcular debridement. The ability of the CO2 laser to achieve hemostasis proved especially important for the procedures...
