Sessions
An operculectomy procedure with a Fotona® laser is typically completed in just one session.
Recovery
Recovery is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Results
The results of a laser-assisted operculectomy are a clean, smooth gum line with the inflamed tissue completely removed.
Soft Tissue Incision
Dive into the Tech
Fotona® advanced digital pulse technologies, including QSP (Quantum Square Pulse) and VSP (Variable Square Pulse), offer precise control and customization for laser-assisted operculectomy. QSP optimizes pulse duration for accurate tissue removal, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding gum tissue, while VSP tailors energy pulses to the patient’s needs, enhancing treatment efficiency. This combination results in effective removal of the operculum.
