This paper summarizes some of the existing research comparing postoperative pain and healing following CO2 laser surgery with conventional blade or scissors.
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 order to rebuild the necessary orofacial function in adult patients, a Tongue-Tie Functional Release includes the mandatory pre- and post- frenectomy myofunctional therapy and the CO2 laser frenectomy...
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.
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.
ContinueSome laser dentistry educational programs and publications include misinterpretations about soft- and hard-tissue laser science and safety. In this article, Dr. Vitruk discusses some important laser-tissue interaction concepts including absorption spectra, hot glass tips, and plasma plumes.
ContinueThis article compares and contrasts the differences in hemostasis and coagulation of erbium, carbon dioxide, and diode (hot-tip) dental lasers.
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.
