Abstract
Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) therapy has been the subject of numerous researches as an auxiliary method in orthodontic practice. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the clinical evaluation of laser assisted soft tissue procedures for orthodontic treatment. The soft tissue surgical procedures carried out were aestheticre-contouring, gingivectomy, maxillary frenectomy, operculectomy and surgical exposure of impacted canines. The clinical outcomes evaluated in each patient were post-operative pain, bleeding during surgical procedure. In our study, clinical evaluation of outcomes in both categories revealed reduced pain at 1 hour and 24 hour after surgical procedures in patients who underwent surgery with LASER.. Soft tissue Laser can be an alternative to conventional surgery for soft tissue surgeries in orthodontics with better pain relief and reduced bleeding.
