Maxillary Labial Frenectomy: Diode Lasers Versus Surgical Scalpel
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: High Frenum Attachment
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if diode laser treatment can improve post-operative outcomes compared to conventional scalpel technique in systemically healthy, non-smoking adults aged 18-45 years with aberrant papillary frenum attachment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does diode laser treatment result in lower post-operative pain compared to the conventional scalpel technique? Does diode laser treatment result in better periodontal healing outcomes compared to the conventional scalpel technique? Researchers will compare the diode laser surgery group to the conventional scalpel surgery group to see if there are differences in pain and healing. Participants will: Undergo a frenectomy procedure using either a diode laser or a conventional scalpel. Receive oral hygiene instructions and post-operative care recommendations. Have their periodontal parameters measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6 months post-operation. Record their pain levels using a visual analogue scale on specified post-operative days.
