This study is based on the records of the patients treated for labial frenectomy with a dental laser at the Department of Padiatric Dentistry from January 2017 to December 2017. Patients younger than 15 years were included and in total 22 patients who matched the inclusion criteria were investigated in the study. The analyzed data included age, gender, frenelum insertion type, type of dental laser, and postoperative pain perception.

Primary | Assesment of pain perception changes after laser assisted frenectomy procedure | Evaluation of changes in pain scores were evaluated with Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale which consists of a set of cartoon faces with varying facial expressions ranging from a smile/laughter to tears. Children were asked to select the facial expression that best represented their pain. Score 1 represents there is no pain, score 5 presents moderate pain and score 10 is the higher score which represents the worst pain. | After 3 hours, 1, 3, 7 and 14 postoperative days. | |
Primary | Assessment of wound surface area measurement changes after laser assisted frenectomy procedure | Evalution of wound healing. Remaining wound area (RWA): The defect area was measured after 1, 3, 7 and 14 postoperative days. | 1, 3, 7 and 14 postoperative days. |
