<i>Ex Vivo</i> Evaluation of Gingival Ablation with Various Laser Systems and Electroscalpel
摘要： Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic and multifaceted comparison of thermal effects during soft tissue ablation with various lasers and an electroscalpel (ES). Materials and methods: Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG, CO2, Diode, Nd:YAG lasers (1 W, pulsed or continuous wave), an ES, and a scalpel (Sc; control), were employed for porcine gingival tissue ablation. Temperature changes during ablation were measured by using an infrared thermal imaging camera and a thermocouple. After ablations, the wounds were observed using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and histological sections were analyzed. Compositional analysis was also performed on ablated sites by SEM wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results: The surface temperature during irradiation was highest with CO2 (over 500(cid:2)C), followed by Diode (267(cid:2)C) and Nd:YAG (258(cid:2)C), Er:YAG (164(cid:2)C), ES (135(cid:2)C), and Er,Cr:YSGG (85(cid:2)C). Carbonization was negligible (Er:YAG), slight (Er,Cr:YSGG), moderate (Nd:YAG and ES), and severe (CO2 and Diode). Under SEM observation, Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG showed smooth surfaces but other devices resulted in rough appearances. Histologically, the coagulated and thermally affected layer was extremely minimal (38 lm in thickness) and free from epithelial collapse for Er:YAG. Compared with other devices, less compositional surface change was detected with Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG; additionally, the use of water spray further minimized thermal in?uence. Conclusions: Among various power devices, Er:YAG laser showed the most ef?cient and re?ned gingival ablation with minimal thermal in?uence on the surrounding tissues. Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers with water spray could be considered as minimally invasive power devices for soft tissue surgery.

Diode laser assisted excision of a gingival pyogenic granuloma: A case report
摘要： Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic, exuberant, reactive lesion seen in response to local irritation or trauma caused by dental calculus, bacterial plaque, caries and restorations, with a strong predilection for the gingiva. It is among the frequently encountered oral lesions, occurring at a challenging oral site, the gingiva. Herein, we report a 71-year-old medically compromised Caucasian female who presented with a relatively large lobulated pyogenic granuloma on the buccal gingiva of the maxillary molar-premolar region. Total surgical excision was performed with an 840nm diode laser followed by the placement of hyaluronate gel and relevant periodontal dressing. Two weeks after surgical excision, complete healing was observed, but patient denied replacement of dental restoration. After 4 months of follow-up, an overall reduction of associated teeth mobility was also observed, with a minor recurrence in gingival inflammation. The objective of this report is to briefly review clinical, radiographic and histological findings of pyogenic granuloma along with a detailed discussion on its management through a diode laser.

Gingival melanin depigmentation by 810 nm diode laser
摘要： The color of gingiva is determined by number and size of blood vessels, thickness of epithelium, keratinization degree, and melanin pigments present in epithelium. Melanocytes, located in basal and suprabasal layers of epithelium, are the cells that produce melanin pigments which play a main role for pigmentation of gingiva. In this case series, the use of 810 nm diode laser for depigmentation of gingiva is presented. Two female patients applied with a chief complaint of “darkened gums” due to heavy smoking. In intraoral examination, diffuse melanin pigmentation was observed in both the maxilla and mandible. Under the local anesthesia, 810 nm diode laser was applied for depigmentation at 1.3 W power in continuous mode. Patients were recalled at weeks 1, 4, and 12 to evaluate the healing and recurrence rate. Both the patients had no postoperative pain or edema, and complete healing was observed at week 12. This study revealed that depigmentation with 810 nm diode laser is successful in terms of esthetics and patient comfort.
