Good case, Glenn.

You did a great job and provided an excellent service to the patient.

Thanks 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.

Healing 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!

Thanks 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
