(The Effect of Low Level Diode Laser Bio Stimulation on Healing of Sub- epithelial Connective Tissue Graft Following Treatment of Localized Gingival Recession (A Randomized Controlled Clinical trial

Abstract

Summary Treatment of buccal gingival recession is a common requirement due to esthetic concern and root sensitivity. The ultimate goal of root coverage procedure is the complete coverage of gingival recession defect with good appearance related to adjacent soft tissues. Recent systematic reviews showed that CAF is a safe and predictable approach for root coverage and the adjunct use of SCTG enhances the probability to obtain CRC in RT1 and RT2 single gingival recession. The use of lasers in periodontal surgery offers precision of incision, hemostasis that allows clear visions with reducing post- operative patient’s morbidity. LLLT is one of the diode soft tissue laser families that offers superior efficiency being highly absorbed in water together with minimal thermal damage to soft tissues.
