Labial frenectomy with Nd:YAG laser and conventional surgery: a comparative study

Abstract: Labial frenulums are sagittal fibrous folds of oral mucosa with a periosteal insertion that extend from the lips to the alveolar or gingival mucosa. Occasionally, they assume inadequate size or location and may lead to functional and esthetic limitations. The aim of the present study was to compare pre-, trans-, and postsurgical clinical parameters of labial frenectomies performed with conventional surgery and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. Forty individuals were assessed as a convenie… Show more

“…Junior et al compared Nd:YAG laser to conventional surgery in labial frenectomy. 19 This study showed no significant difference in postoperative pain or oral function between scalpel technique and laser groups among 40 patients. Differences were found in transoperative bleeding and surgical treatment time, which were reduced in laser group.…”
