Soft tissue Laser Applications in Pediatrics

图片
  There are many applications for pediatric   soft tissue laser   procedures in   oral surgery , oral pathology,   periodontology   and orthodontics — including frenectomies, frenotomies, operculectomies, gingivectomies, and treatment of aphthous and herpetic lesions. Ankyloglossia of the infant is a common and well-studied condition in which the attachment of the lingual frenum is at the tip of the tongue. This is most common in boys, with a reported incidence of 4% to 5%. Ankyloglossia and restriction of tongue movement can result in poor breastfeeding and maternal nipple pain. Research shows that frenotomy can reduce maternal nipple pain, although the effect on breastfeeding quality has not been consistently proven. Frenotomy involves administering local anesthesia and using two instruments — such as a mosquito or hemostat — in a V shape to protect structures in the sublingual area, including the lingual nerve and Wharton’s duct. A scalpel, laser or electrosurgical knife is used to

  Orthodontic treatment   is a way of straightening or moving teeth to improve the way they look and work. By distributing the pressure of the bite to all the teeth through orthodontic treatment, it also helps to maintain the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints. The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of the problem, with some taking a few months and others two and a half years. Most people can be cured in a year or two. It is therefore of great clinical importance to explore safe and effective adjunctive interventions to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, achieve treatment goals in as short a time as possible and achieve a healthy, functional, stable and aesthetically pleasing bite, which is a common pursuit for orthodontists and patients alike. In recent years, low-level lasers have gradually gained the attention of   orthodontists   due to their safety and lack of side effects as well as their simplicity, convenience and comfort.
