Laser gingivectomy - A case analysis of gingival hyperplasia after 7 years of full-mouth implant surgery
One patient developed symptoms of gingival hyperplasia after 7 years of full-mouth implant surgery. Gingival hyperplasia refers to the abnormal growth of gingival tissue, which may cover part or all of the implants. It not only affects the appearance, but also may pose a threat to oral health. In response to this situation, the patient underwent laser gingivectomy. The operation uses laser technology to accurately remove the hyperplastic gingival tissue, which has the advantages of less bleeding, faster recovery and less pain. After treatment, the patient 's gingival condition was significantly improved, and the stability and aesthetics of the implant were also improved. This treatment experience shows that laser gingivectomy is an effective method for the treatment of gingival hyperplasia.
