“…Not only can the diode laser be used for a number of periodontal treatments, part of its popularity could be accredited to its relatively low cost and user-friendliness when compared with other laser wavelengths. In addition, the diode laser has been reported to be an excellent choice for frenectomies, because of the reduced pain levels and faster healing time [ 22 ]. Interestingly, in the present study, laser treatment for frenectomy procedures was significantly associated with programs using diode lasers.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the status of laser use and training in the U.S. and Canadian graduate periodontology programs. A survey questionnaire was sent electronically to 55 periodontology program directors in North America. The questions focused on laser implementation, types of lasers used, for which procedures lasers were used, and level of education/clinical training provided to residents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test. Twenty-two directors responded (40%). Most programs (86%) used lasers and 89% used a diode laser. Laser treatment was the most used for periimplantitis (84%). Fifteen programs (79%) provided didactic and clinical training, with 47% programs giving 4–12 h of didactic training. In 53% of programs, residents completed 4 to10 procedures. Only 29% of programs had residents who had received a certification in lasers, with most (80%) programs requiring between 1–9 cases for certification. Of the participants not providing laser training, the major barrier was indicated as being “expense”, with 68.7% reporting plans to implement laser education. Conclusions: Most graduate periodontics programs were providing laser training and treatment. There was great variability regarding the training methods, specifically in number of dedicated laser courses, time allocated for laser training, and prerequisites for laser certification.

“…Laser works on the principle of photothermal interaction with the tissues. The radiant light energy emitted by the laser is absorbed by the targeted tissues and it is then transformed into thermal energy which changes the tissue structure and also leads to coagulation [ 9 , 10 ]. Carbon dioxide lasers, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) lasers, and the erbium, chromium: yttrium: scandium gallium-garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) lasers are among the several types of lasers that have been utilized in dentistry for correction of soft tissues as well as for hard tissues [ 11 ].…”

Tongue-tie is a continuation of the lingual frenum that is attached to the tip of the tongue. It is a congenital oral anomaly that could restrict tongue movements, caused by a lingual frenum a membrane that originates from the floor of the mouth to the bottom of the tongue that is too thick and short, which limits the natural ability of the tongue to move and function. The tongue is an auxiliary organ that facilitates speaking, mastication, and deglutition. This condition may result in several difficulties including chewing, breastfeeding, speech, and pronunciation of particular words, as well as possessing social and mechanical consequences. Ankyloglossia can be seen in young age groups. The use of lasers has increased in dentistry in recent years. However, in oral and maxillofacial surgery, the use of lasers has been largely restricted to soft tissues, and less focus is placed on the use of hard tissues. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) lasers, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) lasers, and Er, the erbium, chromium: yttrium: scandium gallium-garnet (Cr: YSGG) lasers are among the several types of lasers that have been utilized in dentistry for correction of soft tissues as well as for hard tissues.
