Achieving Micro-esthetics Using Diode Lasers – A Case Report

Abstract

Excessive gingival display can seriously harm a person's appearance. In patients with poor aesthetics, periodontal plastic surgery with an aesthetic focus can be highly gratifying. A case is reported here on the cosmetic correction of flat gingival contour. Periodontal plastic surgery involving esthetic gingival contouring was performed in a single appointment using soft tissue diode laser. The outline of steps involved in the procedure is demonstrated.
