Do you feel you can accurately predict the gingival recontouring with a laser? Instructors at my dental school have said stay away from lasers and electrosurgery units due to this. Curious as to what your experience & results have been.

@MrAwishart lasers cut with extreme accuracy and that is because they will vaporize cell layers with a very minimal zone of necrosis. Electrosurge units have a large zone of necrosis and thus have unpredictable healing as far as what will remain. Diode lasers are way less traumatic and the cost is very competittive now and even though more than electrosurge worth the difference.

@wael7t7 Subscribe and I will be showing a case about what can happen and how it looks when you do not use papilla sparing techniques.

@thenobody1123 we don't "butt" videos and if you prefer to skip the tough stuff then do that. There are many out there that are learning from these videos. Thanks for watching!
