Waveform Types and Properties
Published in Jeffrey A Sherman, Oral Radiosurgery, 2020
The applications for the fully rectified waveform include the following: Gingivectomy/gingivoplasty-type procedures.Palatal stripping of a hyperplastic palate.Epulis removal and ridge re-contour.Pulpotomies.Pericoronal flap removal.Removal of tissue exposing gum line decay.Removal of tissue around anterior composite for visibility and elimination of the ‘pink composite’.Removing interproximal tissue for ease of matrix placement and elimination of overhanging margins.Removing tissue around fractured facings or crowns for ease of facing reconstruction.Removing tissue to facilitate bonded bridge placement.Trough procedures for crown impression on the posterior teeth.

The patients were treated under aseptic conditions using local anesthesia. The local anesthetic was articaine solution with 1:100.000 epinephrine (Ultracaine DS; Aventis, Istanbul, Turkey). Four gingival biopsies were obtained from attached gingiva, determined for gingivoplasty sides, on the right and left mandibular and maxillary arches with approximate dimensions of 2 mm × 2 mm, before and 1 week after the depigmentation. The samples were stored in 0.25 M sucrose solution at −80°C until the gingival tissue OP analysis. Supernatant obtaining procedure and OP measurement procedure were done described in previous study of Sakallioglu et al. (23).

The gingivectomy and gingivoplasty were performed following the same protocol and technique described previously. Thus, the cuts were precise, there was no bleeding and the patience experienced good transoperatory visualization during the procedure. Furthermore, the patient did not report any local discomfort, and no analgesic medication was required postoperatively. The gingival tissue was sent for histopathological analysis.
