SwpmnSpectatorGood case, Glenn.
You did a great job and provided an excellent service to the patient.

Glenn van AsSpectatorThanks Allen………Please keep in mind , my only hope is not a holier than thou mentality but just to show what lasers can do, stimulate some discussion , improve my presentation skills for lecturing, get some feedback so I know what the audience will ask when I do show the cases and to help some people perhaps in using their lasers.
thanks for the kind words.

Glenn van AsSpectatorHealing photos at 6 days.
I have mixed feelings about this case.
On the good side the labial frenum cut looks awesome and the patient had little to no pain ( advil 2X on first day).
On the negative side the healing of the papilla interproximally is not as good as it could be , and is partially due to food entrapment from the patient as they have been leery to brush.
All in all though not a bad result for 6 days.
Will see the patient in a month and post the post op shots then.
Check it out here….

Glenn–Give yourself a break. This is an excellent result for day 6 and no sutures.
That interproximal tissue will regenerate–be patient and give it time!
Great work, great post!

Glenn van AsSpectatorThanks Bob but I was a little surprised to see the erythema and the plaque there. its not an easy spot for an 8 year old to take care off.
I think it is healing great on the labial but feel it could have been better on the interproximal.
I post the good and the bad……….
Its still better than the electrosurge in my opinion but that is a whole other story.
Thanks Bob
Glenn
