Özet: Bu çalışmada konvansiyonel veya diyot lazer cerrahisi ile yapılan frenektomi işlemi sonrası konuşma ve çiğneme güçlüğü ile ağrı, VAS skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Diyot lazer ile yapılan frenektomi işleminin konvansiyonel cerrahiye göre daha ağrısız, daha konforlu ve hasta açısından daha tolere edilebilir bir yöntem olduğu bulunmuştur. Material-method:In this study, in totally 74 patients frenectomy procedure was indicated. 39 patients had frenectomy performed with conventional surgery (Group C) and 35 patients had frenectomy performed with laser surgery (Group L). None of the patients had systemic disease or any prescribed drug use. A VAS scale was prepared in order to evaluate pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing. All patients were informed about how to fill the form in detail and a form was given to each patient. All patients were recalled at 10 th day and VAS scale forms were recollected.Results: There were no significant differences in demographic data of the groups (p>0.05).Pain was found to be significantly higher in conventional group (p<0.05). Likewise, discomfort in speaking and chewing was also significantly lower in laser surgery group than conventional surgery (p<0.05). Conclusion:Diode laser frenectomy procedure caused lower pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing, and within the limitations of this study, based on these results it can be concluded that diode laser surgery had beneficial results in frenectomy procedure.
