“…Labial frenectomy is a standard surgical procedure that is routinely performed in dentistry and can be performed using scalpels, electrosurgery, or lasers. Surgical techniques in frenectomy using scalpels include Conventional (Classical) frenectomy, Miller's technique, V-Y Plasty, and Z Plasty (2) .…”

Objective: A 16-year-old man came to RSGMP Airlangga University with a complaint of a midline diastema in the maxilla which interfered with his appearance when smiling. After examination, it was found that there was an abnormal attachment of the superior labial frenulum so a frenectomy was needed. Methods: Anesthetize the operating area with a local anesthetic. The lips are retracted upwards. The frenulum is clamped using a hemostat until released. Irrigate the surgical area with saline. Perform suturing of the operating area with the interrupted technique using silk thread size 4 – 0. Result: one week post frenectomy shows redness, and slight edema in the mucobuccal fold region 11 21. One month post frenectomy it appears that wound healing is good, there is no pull from the frenulum. Conclusion: Frenectomy with the classical technique can correct the abnormal attachment of the frenulum

“…The fundamental idea behind laser surgery is photothermal interaction with tissue. The most recent generation of diode lasers has demonstrated an excellence in outcomes attained superior to earlier CO2, neodymium, and erbium models [9,10]. In this case report study, we present a case of ankyloglossia management using diode laser aided frenectomy.…”

Ankyloglossia is a congenital disorder that develops when the inferior lingual frenulum is excessively short and attaches to the tip of the tongue, restricting its movements. It results in limited tongue mobility, which in turn affects speech and also leads to growth discrepancies. Diode lasers can be utilized as a secure surgical tool for correcting tongue tie using a minimally invasive dentistry technique and for also easing young patients' anxiety towards dental treatment. The use of a diode laser with a 976 nm wavelength for frenectomy procedures has been reported only in a few numbers till date. Hence, this paper describes the case of 13 year old male patient with the complaint of restricted tongue movements and speech difficulties and its management. Early detection and appropriate surgical intervention are the crucial factors to avoid problems related with Ankyloglossia and help the patients to lead a better life.

Aim: Root canal treatment is often carried out in deciduous teeth to relieve pain and make the tooth functional.The main goal of instrumentation in a root canal treatment is to facilitate effective irrigation, disinfection, and filling. Sodium hypochlorite is a widely used irrigant and has been demonstrated to be an effective agent against broad spectrum of bacteria. However its toxic effects on vital tissues can result in haemolysis, skin ulceration and necrosis. The use of diode laser for endodontic applications has been investigated and proven for its efficacy in root canal sterilization. Therefore, this clinical study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficacies of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 810nm diode laser as disinfectants in root canals of primary teeth. This study evaluated the microbial count and the clinical success of the treatment. Materials and Methods: In 40 subjects selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, Pulp tissue was extirpated from the canals and samples collected using sterile absorbent paper points . Then they were randomly divided into two groups. In Group 1, canals were prepared and irrigated with 5.25% of sodium hypochlorite, and in group 2 canals were prepared and disinfected with 810nm of diode laser. The contents of canals were collected again with a sterile paper point .Samples taken before and after procedures were cultured, and the colony-forming units (CFUs) were counted. The data was evaluated using independent sample test and paired sample test. Patients were recalled for clinical and radiographic evaluation after 3 and 6 months. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean CFU of laser and sodium Hypochlorite ( p<.001). Clinical evaluation after 3 and 6 months showed no pain, swelling, sinus tract or mobility .Radiographically too there was absence of premature exfoliation, periodontal widening, internal/external resorption and periapical or furcal radiolucency. Conclusion: Both 810nm diode laser and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite were effective in reducing bacterial count in root canals of primary teeth. However 810nm diode laser reduced microbial count of root canals more as compared to 5.25% NaOCl.
