“…Gingival health is one of the essential components that create the harmony of smile in the esthetic area. To create balance in a clinical situation which displays surplus of the gingiva, a preprosthetic gingival procedure with a diode laser has shown to be precise, sterile, and suture-less and provides superior healing [14][15][16][17]. When compared to a retraction cord for the gingival displacement technique, the diode laser is more effective and simpler to use and causes less pain [18].…”

Introduction. A diode laser is one of the universally compact accepted laser systems used fundamentally for soft tissue applications. Most diode laser devices have a single wavelength of either 810 nm for superior coagulation or 980 nm for tissue ablation. In these case series, the use of dual wavelengths (810 nm and 980 nm) in combination with super pulsing has provided a cleaner cut (no charring) with faster healing that eases the placement of the final restoration in the esthetic zone. Case Description. The present case series describe four cases in the esthetic zone that achieved hemostasis ablation without collateral damage to enhance gingival balance of definitive restoration. The gingivoplasty and gingivectomy modes are used to achieve efficient tissue ablation. Although there is no specific mode indicated in the FDA laser requirement for gingival depigmentation, the procedure could be safely performed with the dual-wavelength diode laser Result. All four patients revealed a good esthetic outcome and reported no pain postoperatively. Healing was uneventful, and definitive restoration was delivered within two to four weeks postoperatively. Conclusion. Within the limitation of these case series, the dual-wavelength super pulsed diode laser has the capacity to deliver peak powers resulting in efficient cutting and less tissue charring and also as an alternative tool for removal of gingival pigmentation. Prospective clinical research with larger sample size is needed for conclusive results.

Background: Gingival enlargement, also known as gingival overgrowth, is an enlargement of the gum tissue. There are many possible causes for enlarged gums. Gingival enlargement is general feature of gingival diseases. It is common note to chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement was caused by poor of oral hygiene. Orthodontic braces can interfere with good oral hygiene, contributing to the development of the inflammatory process. One of the most common soft tissue problems related to fixed orthodontic appliances is gingival hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Maintaining oral hygiene is hindered in cases of gingival hypertrophy due to orthodontic appliances. The most widely used surgical method to treat gingival hypertrophy is gingivectomy. Case Report : A 27-year-old patient was referred to the periodontal clinic of Airlangga University Dental Hospital because of primary gingival swelling with gingival bleeding during brushing in the anterior mandibular region. On intra oral examination showed excessive gingival with probing depth was range 4 mm on teeth 42-32, revealing the presence of pseudopockets. Clinical examination revealed generalized gingival enlargement as well as generalized bleeding on examination. After explaining the condition and treatment to the patient, he was registered for phase I treatment. After evaluating phase I therapies, phase II treatment with gingivectomy and gingivoplasty were required using a scalpel. Conclusion: Conventional gingivectomy gives satisfactory result in treating the inflammatory gingival enlargement.
