Introduction: Hemangiomas are hamartomatous benign tumours of the vascular tissue, which are common among infants and adolescents and are found in the head and neck region. Oral hemangiomas are infrequently encountered in the palate. Baseline soft tissue imaging must be considered for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment approach. Case Report: A 68-year-old female presented with a painless growth in the roof of her mouth that gradually increased in its size. She was subjected to intraoral ultrasonography and was diagnosed with capillary hemangioma. In this instance, laser ablation was chosen as the preferred treatment due to the complications associated with the conventional surgery. Conclusion: This case report enlightens the systematic diagnostic approach and treatment plan.

This clinical study aimed to describe a case of lower impacted canine to demonstrate the advantages of diode laser for crown exposure during orthodontic treatment. The patient received a surgical intervention by an infra-red diode laser to uncover a retained lower canine. The intervention did not need anesthetic injection and suture apposition, the patient did not refer pain, and the healing process was completed after a week. The diode laser was safe, fast, and easy to use, and the avoidance of bleeding was reached due to its excellent absorption by hemoglobin: this is particularly important considering that, for obtaining a strong adhesion, a bracket must be bonded in a dry enamel surface. The use of an infrared diode laser is a proper approach in the surgery of retained teeth during orthodontic treatment.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effect of impregnated retraction cord vs Laser on gingival attachment level and pain perception following retraction for subgingival margins. Settings and Design: Many methods for achieving and measuring the amount of gingival retraction in fixed prosthodontic work have been advocated. Though the gingival attachment level is crucial in Periodontology, the literature available regarding the effect of these retraction methods on the same is scarce. Hence, this clinical study was designed to compare the pain perception and amount of gingival recession when impregnated cord and laser were used for retraction. Materials and Methods: In 40 subjects (age range of 20 to 40 years) with single missing maxillary incisor, the abutments were prepared with subgingival margins, to receive a full coverage metal-ceramic fixed dental prosthesis. The gingiva was retracted on one of the abutments with impregnated retraction cord and on the other with diode laser. Gingival attachment levels were compared at six sites per abutment using superimposition of digital scans, preoperative and four weeks after cementation of final prosthesis. Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis of the data for gingival recession was done using t-test. Pain perception was analysed with Chi-square test. Pain perception by patients following retraction was compared with VAS scale. Results: The average values of gingival recession on buccal side were 0.61 mm and 0.38 mm and on the palatal side were 0.58 mm and 0.35 mm for impregnated retraction cord and laser respectively. The P values of <0.01 indicated a highly significant difference between the two groups. Intragroup comparison did not show significant differences between various sites. Pain and discomfort produced by cord method was moderate in comparison with mild/no pain with diode laser and the difference was highly significant. Conclusion: Retraction cord produced more gingival recession than the diode laser, which was statistically highly significant on both buccal and palatal aspects of the teeth. Patients experience with diode laser technique was less painful in comparison with retraction cord method.
