Resumen
Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo es reportar una serie de tres casos de frenectomía del labio inferior mediante láser de diodo. Detalle del caso: Tres pacientes sin cambios sistémicos acudieron a un colegio con indicación de frenectomía de labio inferior debido a la presencia de un frenillo de labio inferior anómalo provocando recesiones gingivales (GR) e hipersensibilidad dentinaria en los dientes 31 y 41. Al examen clínico los pacientes presentaron RG RT-I en El Cairo y como tratamiento se propuso frenectomía labial con láser de diodo quirúrgico, en los tres casos se realizó el mismo protocolo quirúrgico, con anestesia local inferior bilateral y la frenectomía se realizó con láser de diodo de alta potencia de 980nm, a la potencia de 2W, con una dosis de 4J/cm2, energía de 6J, modo pulsado y fibra de punta cilíndrica durante 15 minutos hasta la eliminación total del frenillo labial inferior, luego se utilizó nuevamente el láser para provocar hemostasia quirúrgica, sin necesidad para sutura. En el postoperatorio se pautaron analgésicos de acción periférica y láser rojo, 2 julios por punto y 20 segundos en las zonas quirúrgicas para reparación tisular. Conclusión: A los pacientes se les extirpó completamente el frenillo labial inferior y en los casos 1 y 2 los resultados postoperatorios fueron sin dolor ni molestias.
