What is it about?
Photoablative IR (810 nm wavelenght) diode laser has been proven to be a valuable help in gingival soft tissue microsurgery in patients with chronic periodontitis and bearers of dental implants. This study reports on the use of such diode for easy, painless shaping of the peri-implant gingiva, useful to augment the width of soft tissues around the implant.

Why is it important?
Tthis new laser-aided method improves the conventional surgical techniques for peri-implant soft tissue shaping, resulting in no pain and bleeding and fast healing without inflammation and scarring.
Perspectives
These findings provide support to the emerging notion that photoablative diode laser can be a valid therapeutic option for oral microsurgery and may contribute to expand the use of lasers by the modern dental practitioner
