Improving Oral Aesthetics and Function: Laser Therapy for Mucogingival Deformities

Mucogingival deformities encompass a range of soft tissue abnormalities affecting gingival tissues and their relationship with surrounding oral structures. These conditions, including gingival recession, insufficient attached gingiva width, high frenal attachments, and gingival excess, can lead to aesthetic concerns, oral hygiene challenges, functional problems, psychological impact, and long-term oral health risks. This paper presents two cases of mucogingival deformities and their aesthetic correction using diode lasers. The use of diode lasers offered advantages such as precise tissue removal, reduced bleeding, faster healing, and minimal postoperative pain.
