Dental lasers are used for multiple dental procedures, including soft-tissue procedures. Soft-tissue lasers are available at varying wavelengths and watt and can be used for procedures that would otherwise be performed using a scalpel, or possibly an electrosurgical unit. Diode laser enables safe and effective removal of soft tissue when guidelines are followed and can be used for Depigmentation procedures, Gingival Troughing, Operculectomy, Frenectomy, Frenotomy, Vestibuloplasty, Ankyloglossia, Laser Lip Repositioning surgery, Removal of Soft-Tissue Lesions and other Periodontal Procedures.
