Gingival Depigmentation

Introduction. A diode laser is one of the universally compact accepted laser systems used fundamentally for soft tissue applications. Most diode laser devices have a single wavelength of either 810 nm for superior coagulation or 980 nm for tissue ablation. In these case series, the use of dual wavelengths (810 nm and 980 nm) in combination with super pulsing has provided a cleaner cut (no charring) with faster healing that eases the placement of the final restoration in the esthetic zone. Case Description. The present case series describe four cases in the esthetic zone that achieved hemostasis ablation without collateral damage to enhance gingival balance of definitive restoration. The gingivoplasty and gingivectomy modes are used to achieve efficient tissue ablation. Although there is no specific mode indicated in the FDA laser requirement for gingival depigmentation, the procedure could be safely performed with the dual-wavelength diode laser Result. All four patients revealed a good esthetic outcome and reported no pain postoperatively. Healing was uneventful, and definitive restoration was delivered within two to four weeks postoperatively. Conclusion. Within the limitation of these case series, the dual-wavelength super pulsed diode laser has the capacity to deliver peak powers resulting in efficient cutting and less tissue charring and also as an alternative tool for removal of gingival pigmentation. Prospective clinical research with larger sample size is needed for conclusive results.

From September 15 up to September 20, 2019, the regular, 14th International Conference on Pulsed Lasers and Laser Applications – AMPL (abbreviation from the English name Atomic and Molecular Pulsed Lasers) was held in Tomsk. AMPL Conference (https://symp.iao.ru/ru/ampl), which is a periodic scientific event and takes place every two years in the city of Tomsk. The first conference was held in 1992, and all subsequent ones since 1995 took place on odd years. The AMPL conference is traditionally held in mid-September. Conference topics – fundamental issues of laser physics, physicochemical processes in active laser media, new types of lasers and laser systems, the use of lasers in science, technology, medicine, other fields of activity, problems of bringing laser devices and technologies to the market, as well as fundamental and applied issues on the creation and use of spontaneous radiation sources (excilamps). Along with Russian scientists, specialists, graduate students and students, representatives of near and far abroad regularly participate in the conference. The article provides a brief overview of past conferences, notes how the conference topics were expanded and modified in response to the challenges of gaining new knowledge in the field of photonics, as well as the needs of the laser equipment and technology market. An analysis of the current state of fundamental and applied research is given, and trends in the development of laser technologies are discussed.
