Gingival hyperplasia becomes a relatively frequent pathologic condition during orthodontic treatment. Diode laser gingivectomy for orthodontic treatment-induced gingival hyperplasia bests scalpel surgery suggests a new study published in the Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery.
Some studies support the superiority of diode laser gingivectomy to scalpel surgery and nonsurgical treatments. However, a systematic review on this topic is lacking. This study aimed to compare gingivectomy with diode laser versus the conventional scalpel surgery and nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) in the treatment of orthodontic treatment-induced gingival enlargement (GE).
