Interdisciplinary Approach using Diode Laser for Esthetic Management of Missing Anterior Teeth

A 30-year-old female patient was reported with pain and swelling in the region of 21. On clinical examination, a swelling was found close to the cervical margin of 21. The suggested treatment plan was periapical surgery of 21. On elevation of flap there was a vertical fracture in cervical region of 21, showing poor prognosis. Extraction of 21 was done and an interdisciplinary approach was carried out with laser-assisted root canal treatment of 12. Also laser troughing in 12 and 22 regions to serve as abutments and an ovate pontic preparation in 11 and 21 regions was carried out. Lasers can be used as an adjunct and/or alternative in the management of multiple dental procedures in the esthetic zone ensuring promising dental outcome.
