..The one with central constriction had an elliptical excision on each side, combined with a vertical midline Z-plasty to release the central constriction. Satisfactory aesthetic results were achieved in all patients...

..Considering the above advantages, when used correctly, the CO2 laser offers a safe, effective, acceptable, and impressive alternative for frenectomy operations...

..CONCLUSION: The results suggest that Er:YAG laser may be routinely used in surgery, because of its minimal damage of the epithelial tissue, its low inflammatory reaction, its quicker healing process and its lower risk of scarring...

..This article examines the common 'loose' soft tissue management procedures in general dental practice and how the use of lasers can enable the clinician to deliver responsible care...

....

..The purpose of this article is to provide an overview regarding safe and proper use of soft-tissue lasers in orthodontics...

..CONCLUSIONS: A simple surgical excision is the treatment of choice in these cases, in which the anatomy is preserved; this fact is more consistent with a completed but aberrant development than with focal dysgenesis...
