case_images: Since there was an adequate width of keratinized gingiva and pocket depth of 5 mm gingivectomy up to 3 mm was planned with a 940-nm diode laser (operating parameters being 3.25 W, a pulse mode of 20 ms/20 ms-pulse duration/pulse interval 400 micro fiber-contact mode) (Figure 1).
case_images: Pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative pictures of the gingivectomy procedure performed for correction of altered gingival zenith in the transposed tooth.. The images (a and b) represent the pre-operative image of altered gingival zenith in the transposed 24 left upper first premolar, (c) intra-operative image of a gingivectomy performed with 940 nm diode laser in the transposed 24 left upper first premolar, (d) 940 nm diode EZLase (Mumbai, India: Biolase), 3.25 W, pulsed mode 20 ms pulse duration and 20 ms pulse interval with 400-micron fiber, (e) cervical wedge-shaped defect evident in relation to 24 left upper first premolar buccal aspects after gingivectomy, (f) cervical defect after restoration with light-cured composite material at two-week post-operative, and (g) post-operative image at three months follow-up with the new zenith being stable in relation to 24 left upper first premolar.. Arrows indicate tooth 24, was subjected to gingivectomy by 940 nm diode laser (Biolase EZLase), and composite light cure restoration was performed.
