INTERACTION BETWEEN DIODE LASERS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Soft tissue management in implantology is a crucial step for the biological stability and aesthetics of prosthetic restoration. In this clinical case, Dr Alessandro Paccagnella, presents the application of the Pocket Laser 915 nm (88dent) in the implant uncovering phase, illustrating the clinical and operational advantages of integrating diode lasers and digital technologies.

The case concerns a 46-year-old female patient treated with an approach aimed at maximum soft tissue preservation and simplification of the surgical procedure.
Through an atraumatic laser incision, performed without a scalpel or sutures, it was possible to achieve:

• Excellent haemostasis and visibility of the surgical field;
  
  
  
• Significant reduction in surgical time (less than 5 minutes);
  
  
  
• Rapid and painless healing, with normal tissue regeneration within 7 days;
  
  
  
• Optimal gingival conditioning for subsequent optical impression.

The intervention was completed with digital scanning using the iATON S intraoral scanner and CAD design using Cad Lynx Evolution  of the 88dent multilayer zirconia restoration, demonstrating the full compatibility of Pocket Laser with the digital workflow.
