Brief Summary  

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) focused on bio stimulation/biomodulation effect, at specific wavelength, leads to modification of cellular activities.

Aim: This split-mouth study was used to assess effect of LLLT after scalpel gingivectomy, using diode laser on patient’s pain response; immediately after wearing off of local anesthetic effect; on first day followed by wound healing and degree of keratinization on third day, 15th day and after one month post-operatively.

Materials and methods: Thirteen patients with twenty-six sites exhibiting gingival enlargement in maxillary and mandibular regions will be included. Following scalpel gingivectomy, diode laser with 980 nm wavelength at 3W power in pulsed non-contact mode at gingivectomy treatment function will be used.  Test region tissues (randomly allotted by lottery method) will be lased 1-2 cm away from surgical wound on the day of gingivectomy. Surgical areas of control and test groups will be disclosed with methylene blue to visualize the areas where the epithelium was present.

Results: LLLT�’applied sites will be compared statistically with control surgical sites in terms of Wong Bakers faces pain scale, Huang et al.’s wound healing index and degree of keratinization.
