“…(21) The laser eliminates the need for a post-surgical dressing after traditional gingivectomy. (22) Histologically, in the biopsy taken after 7 days, less infiltration of inflammatory cells had been seen in laser with a good improved epithelization, which result in reducing the scars and the contraction of the wound and thus improve the healing (9).…”

Background: Gingival enlargement is a common feature of gingival diseases. The treatment of gingival enlargement is based on the understanding of the etiology and pathology of this condition and can be treated by gingivectomy approach. The use of diode lasers in gingivectomy procedure reduces the level of postoperative hazards and facilitate the healing process after this manipulation. The literature survey reports that this technique shows good results, less postoperative inflammation and less postoperative pain and improved healing result in the surgical sites.Purpose: The aim of this case report is to present the satisfied aesthetic outcome of laser gingivectomy approach and less postoperative pain and inflammation in postsurgical healing period. Material and methods: A laser gingivectomy is performed in young orthodontic treated patient for removing gingival enlargements in the zone of interdental gingival tissues in both jaws -on vestibular sites of maxilla and mandibula.Results: The laser gingivectomy, using diode laser, resulted in fast wound healing, with experience of some postsurgical discomfort and no postoperative bleeding. Conclusion:The performed laser gingivectomy presents satisfactory aesthetic outcome, fast healing process and reduced postoperative discomfort.

“…The mechanisms of action of lasers in hard and soft dental tissues depend directly on the absorption of light by the chromophore in the target tissue. Er:YAG lasers are a noninvasive modality, effective to promote bone recontouring in surgical procedures for clinical crown lengthening (Elavarasu,, Naveen., & Thangavelu., 2012;Deeb et al, 2019). These findings corroborate the studies by Chen et al (2016) and Koppolu et al (2017) in which it was observed that the use of the Er:YAG laser was less traumatic for dental hard and soft tissues when compared to the traditional surgical procedure.…”

The surgical procedure for the clinical crown lengthening, aims for an aesthetic or functional form to compensate for the reabsorption of the alveolar bone tissue caused by the invasion of the biological space. The conditions that must be taken into account during surgical planning are related to an excessive gingival exposure, altered passive eruption and lack of height of the dental element for restorative purposes. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate in the scientific literature the minimally invasive surgical techniques used to clinical crown lengthening. A systematic review of the literature was performed using the databases, Science Direct, Embase, Cochrane Collaboration Library, and PubMed/MEDLINE. The search strategy provided a total of 157 studies. After selection, five articles met all the inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review. Studies have shown that conventional surgical techniques for clinical crown lengthening are presented as an effective approach that promotes good aesthetic and functional results. However, they have some limitations. After evaluating the minimally invasive surgical techniques included in this systematic review, it was possible to infer that they presented satisfactory results in the soft and hard tissue contouring, with no complications and dissatisfaction being observed by the patients.

“…Initially, in the field of dentistry, the antimicrobial effectiveness of Aloe vera was tested, where it was proved to be effective against various microorganisms. 43 An animal study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Aloe vera against microbes like Streptococcus mutans , Enterococcus faecalis , Candida albicans . They had also assessed the pulp cell viability when used as a direct pulp capping agent in rats, and they reported that fibroblast and osteoblast present in the dentin–pulp complex were viable after 24 hours.…”

Aim The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical and radiographic success of Aloe vera and formocresol (FC) as a pulpotomy medicament in primary molars. Materials and methods A total of 72 asymptomatic or symptomatic vital primary molars were selected and were assigned to two groups: group II: Buckley's FC, group II: Aloe vera gel. The clinical and radiographic success were evaluated using Zurn and Seale criteria. The data were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results At three and 6 months follow-up, the clinical success rate of Aloe vera and FC was equally effective. Aloe vera showed a higher radiographic success rate compared to FC ( p > 0.05). At 6 months follow-up, FC showed a higher radiographic success rate compared to Aloe vera ( p > 0.05). Conclusion The clinical and radiographic success of both groups were equally effective at the end of 6 months follow-up. Aloe vera can be considered as an alternative pulpotomy medicament to FC. But, further long-term follow-up studies and histological studies are required. How to cite this article Subramanyam D, Somasundaram S.
