1.(A) |
Non-Surgical alternative to flap surgery.
|
• |
In pyorrhoea : A non-invasive procedure providing
better results and is cost effective compared to flap surgery (
Laser Pocket thermolysis )
|
• |
In medically compromised patients especially
those suffering from hypertension, diabetes, cardiac problems, organ
transplant and epileptic where surgery is not feasible.
|
• |
Excisional new attachment procedures (irradiation
of periodontal pockets using lasers.) |
1.(B) |
Laser assisted flap surgery |
• |
In younger group of patients suffering from
pyorrhoea where flap surgery is indicated, Laser can be used simultaneously
as it arrests bleeding and provides a clear sterile operative field
for the surgical parts to be done at the best.
|
2. |
Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty |
|
Gingival hyperplasia induced by antihypertensive and
antiepileptic
drugs can be effectively excised using lasers.
|
3. |
Root Canal Treatment |
|
Canal Sterilization: Majority of Root canal failures are
attributed
to incomplete removal of tissue from the canals. Laser tip when inserted
within the canals, burns any tissue left and hence reduces the chance
of failure.
|
4. |
Frenectomy |
|
Midline spacing in upper and tower antaiors may often be due to
high
frenum attachment which can be relieved painlessly by excising with
laser.
|
5. |
Tongue Tie |
|
Speech difficulties faced by people with tongue tie can be
treated
by lingual frenectomy using laser and marked improvement or complete
elimination of difficulty is achieved at the same moment.
|
6. |
Aesthetic |
|
Gummy smile often creates an unaesthetic smile which hampers a
person's
confidence. Aesthetic recontouring of the gums and thus increasing
crown length gives back the healthy natural smile.
|
7. |
Vestibuloplasty |
|
In old denture wearers, ridge resorption often poses a retentive
problem,
sulcular deepening yields greater retentive area and with the use
of lasers, healing is better and painless so denture fabrication is
easier.
|
8. |
Implant Exposure |
9. |
Pericoronal Flap Removal |
|
Tissue flap overlying erupting teeth often causes pain and
recurrent
infection especially in third molar area. Flap can be excised and
the problem solved within few minutes by Laser.
|
10. |
Apthous ulcer : |
|
Most painful oral ulcer can be immediately relieved by laser
ablation. |
|
Laser assisted surgical procedures |
11. |
OSMF |
|
Effective mouth opening can be achieved by
cutting the fibrotic band
as using laser for the same prevents any kind of scarring and bleeding.
|
12. |
White Patches |
|
Leukaplakia(Lichenplanus) can be treated by Laser surgical procedure. |
13. |
Biopsy |
|
Cystic lesion, benign tumors excision and soft tissue curettage can
be done by lasers. |
14. |
Laser Whitening |
|
Whitening with better results and patient acceptance is achieved
using
laser. Stains can be effectively removed.
