Amongst the treatments available for this is the use of surgical lasers.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Ten patients entered this study and signed an informed consent. Seventy-five anterior teeth with gingival hyperplasia were selected for laser surgery. Prior to surgery, the length of the crowns were measured using a digital caliper, and depth of the pocket was probed. The hyperplasic gingival was removed with a CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    laser under local anesthesia.
