  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 elec...

  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...

  Introduction-   The main goal of endodontic treatment is the effective cleaning of the root-canal system and preventing the reinfection. Traditional endodontic techniques use mechanical instruments and chemical irrigation to shape, clean and completely decontaminate the endodontic system. The complexity of the root-canal system is very well known with added fact that most of the NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) instruments work on the center body of canal leaving behind fins, isthmus, cul-de-sacs all untouched. These left out spaces harbour tissue debris, bacteria and their by-products and this insufficient   root canal disinfection   is the main reason for endodontic failure. LASER helps to achieve this impossible task of disinfection of root canal system as a whole including the lateral and accessory canals. As back dated, Laser technology was introduced to endodontics with the goal of improving the results obtained with traditional procedures through the use of light ener...

  Frenum is an anatomic structure formed by a fold of mucous membrane and connective tissue fibers that attach the lip and cheeks to the alveolar mucosa, the gingiva and the underlying periosteum. Placek et al. have classified frenum depending on the extension of attachment of fibers, (1) Mucosal: when the frenal fibers are attached up to mucogingival junction, (2) Gingival: when fibers are inserted within attached gingiva, (3) Papillary: when fibers are extending into interdental papilla, and (4) Papilla penetrating: when the frenal fibers cross the alveolar process and extend up to palatine papilla. Frenum with mucosal attachment is the usual and is considered to be the correct level of attachment but if the frenum that encroaches on the margin of the gingiva (Class 2 and above) may interfere with plaque removal, and the tension on the frenum may tend to open the sulcus eventually leading to gingival recession, midline diastema, root dentine hypersensitivity and unaesthetic looks...

  What is Operculectomy? Operculectomy is the procedure of surgically removing the operculum or the flap of gum that partially covers over a tooth. This procedure treats pericoronitis, a condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the operculum. Pericoronitis typically occurs among young adults, especially those whose wisdom tooth is starting to erupt. What happens if  Operculectomy  is not performed? 1. Causes inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the crown of the partially erupted tooth clinically called pericoronitis. It typically occurs in teeth that erupt very slowly or become impacted. 2. Penetration of bacteria into the follicular space initiates infection which is potentiated by food debris trapped in proximity to the operculum and occlusal trauma of the pericoronal tissues by the opposing tooth. When is  Operculectomy  suggested? Operculectomy is advised by the dentist when one develops Pericoronitis, which may be acute or chronic. Acute ...

The recent development of lasers has helped many professionals make strides in their industries, and the oral care and hygiene industry is no exception. Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) was developed and approved in 2004 as a laser treatment to combat periodontal disease. The surgical procedure has since been adopted by many surgeons and is praised for its accuracy and precision in removing gum tissue from around teeth. At Progressive Periodontics , our Tigard, OR laser periodontal surgeon is specifically trained to use LANAP and has performed the procedure countless times successfully, leaving patients with healthy gums. For periodontists, lasers could be the newest and most accurate way of performing dental work. Here, we'll introduce exactly the benefits of using laser therapy for periodontal diseases: 1. Less Gum Tissue Is Lost Lasers are simply more precise than manual instruments and are capable of targeting infected areas of your gums with little affect on sur...
