Gingival Enlargement

Clinical Application: Cosmetic gingival contouring

Clinical Explanation: Gingival shape refers to curvature of the gingival margin of the
tooth. The gingival zenith of the maxillary lateral incisors and the mandibular incisors
should conincide with their longitudinal axis. Gingival contour,as compared with gingival
shape, refers to a more 3-dimensional description of gingival topography. Ideal gingival
contour is characterized by sharp interdental papillae and equally tapered gingival
margins at the cervical margin of the teeth.

Operation procedure: Soft tissue reacts differently to CHEESE 4W diode laser than to a scalpel. CHEESE 4W can deliver energy in either a continuous or a pulsed mode. In the continuous mode, the tissues tend to absorb more energy, resulting in greater heat. The pulsed mode permits intermittent cooling between pulses of energy. Because the amount of heat generated during the procedure translates directly into the amount of collateral damage---and thus postoperative discomfort---it is generally recommended that the laser be used at a lower
setting and in the pulse mode for soft tissue procedures.

Patients were managed using CHEESE 4W with wavelength of 980nm,CW or pulse ,
2.5W-3W, 200um bare fiber, one tips on dental surgery handpiece.


Advantage:
CHEESE 4W diode laser is manageable size,lower cost and ability to cauterize while
cutting and it generally requires only topical anesthesia. Meanwhile,its wavelength does
not approximate the absorption coefficient of bone or enamel.

Notice:
Before surgery,cleaning the oral parts and avoid any inflammation
