Abstract
This clinical study aimed to describe a case of lower impacted canine to demonstrate the advantages of diode laser for crown exposure during orthodontic treatment. The patient received a surgical intervention by an infra-red diode laser to uncover a retained lower canine. The intervention did not need anesthetic injection and suture apposition, the patient did not refer pain, and the healing process was completed after a week. The diode laser was safe, fast, and easy to use, and the avoidance of bleeding was reached due to its excellent absorption by hemoglobin: this is particularly important considering that, for obtaining a strong adhesion, a bracket must be bonded in a dry enamel surface. The use of an infrared diode laser is a proper approach in the surgery of retained teeth during orthodontic treatment.
