COMPARING DIODE LASER AND SCALPEL TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSING PATIENT PERCEPTIONS FOLLOWING VESTIBULOPLASTY PROCEDURE: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Maintaining optimal vestibular depth aids in maintaining good dental hygiene, but inadequate vestibular depth can result in gingival recession, poor plaque control, and reduced aesthetics.  This can be fixed with a variety of vestibuloplasty techniques, including the use of a scalpel,  cryosurgery,or laser. lasers come in different strengths and wavelengths, and they can be utilized for procedures that would typically be done with a scalpel or electrosurgery. Compared to other surgical methods, laser dentistry produces hardly little heat at all. Dental lasers can be utilized precisely, safely, and successfully to remove soft tissue when used correctly. This case reports is done to the management of shallow vestibular depth using soft tissue laser by scalpel and laser techniques.
