Medical uses of laser gingivectomy
- Treatment for a gummy smile caused by excessive gum coverage of tooth crown, particularly in the upper front incisors.
- Correction of gum overgrowth resulting from oral hygiene issues, drug usage, or hereditary medical conditions.
- Surgical exposure of teeth with delayed eruption or superficial impaction to aid orthodontic treatment and tooth eruption.
- Minimally invasive removal of papillary gingival hyperplasia using CO2 laser.
- Combined treatment approach of gingivectomy and CO2 laser for cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth.
