Neat case Jeff, given the discussion of healing on these,do you have any Nd Yag frenectomies with post op pics on day 6 or so. I think that in my hands the erbium wins the healing race over the Continuous wave diode but you have both the erbium and the NdYag, I know there is less bleeding with the soft tissue NdYag but how do you feel the healing short term compares.

For me as I posted in the erbium section the erbium wins everytime whether I use water on or off the diode laser.

Jeff–

Very nice results. Expertly done.

Try 4 watts 100Hz and 200-300 Joules per large frenum and I think you will see a cleaner wound that heals more like the erbium photo.

Nice cases though!

Hey Jeff, great points, I think it is interesting to note the healing from various lasers and I think that the NdYag with its high energy per pulse (like the erbium) will probably heal better than a CW diode given all the same circumstances.

Comparing different brands within a wavelength is for me not the same in terms of amount of differences as it is comparing one wavelength to another.

Neat idea about relapse of erbium. Not sure why that would be , I havent seen that but the operator is the same in your case on each one.

All the best
