Which Surgical Technique is Better for Frenectomy: Conventional or CO2 Laser?

Hello everyone, this is Raymond Lee from Raymond's Dental Solutions. Today, we’re diving into an intriguing study that examines patient perceptions after frenectomy operations, comparing traditional surgical methods to CO2 laser techniques by Haytac, M.C., & Ozcelik, O. (2006).

The study aimed to assess how patients perceive and respond to frenectomy procedures performed using either conventional surgical techniques or CO2 lasers. Participants were divided into two groups: one group underwent frenectomy with traditional surgery, while the other group was treated with CO2 laser techniques.

Results showed that patients in the CO2 laser group experienced significantly less pain compared to those who had conventional surgery. Additionally, the CO2 laser group reported less swelling after the procedure and enjoyed faster healing times. Overall, patient satisfaction was much higher in the CO2 laser group, with these patients feeling more comfortable both during and after the operation.

The study concluded that CO2 laser frenectomy offers better patient outcomes than traditional surgical methods. The advantages of the CO2 laser technique include reduced postoperative pain and swelling, quicker recovery, higher levels of patient satisfaction, and increased comfort. These findings suggest that CO2 laser frenectomy is a more patient-friendly option for this type of procedure, and support its use in clinical practice to enhance patient experiences and outcomes.
