This patient presented with bleeding gingiva associated with crowns apparently placed approx 3 years ago.

I removed the crowns by splitting them…

I used my Deka Smartfile Nd:Yag to do gingivectomy around the teeth at 80Hz, 40mJ and then also used the laser in the sulcus at 20Hz, 100mJ and because the frenum caused blanching when I pulled the lip away, I did a frenectomy as well at 80Hz,40mJ. I then placed temporary crowns.

This was taken at two week follow up. I was hoping that the frenulum would not re-attach so low…Any advice?
