Clinical Efficacy of Conventional and Diode Laser-Assisted Frenectomy in Patients With Abnormal Different Frenum Insertions: A Retrospective Study

In the laser-assisted frenectomy, a diode laser device (GIGA Cheese II®, China) (λ= 810 nm) with a 400 µm diameter, plain-ended optical fiber tip was used for the procedure maintaining contact with oral mucosa at 2,5 W, 70 Hz frequency with a short pulse (140 microseconds) duration.

In the conventional frenectomy, the incisions were applied using a scalpel blade no.15 on the upper and lower surface of the haemostat until the frenum was excised.
