Piezosurgery and GaALAs diode laser
"One incision will be made between the roots of the six upper anterior teeth, and two incisions will be made between the upper canines and the second premolars. The incisions will be 5 mm long and start 4 mm apical to the interdental papilla.~After six weeks of piezosurgery, GaALAs diode laser (wavelength: 810 nm and exposure time of 10 seconds\\point) 10 seconds per point will be applied."
