A short lingual frenulum may contribute to feeding, speech, and mechanical tongue problems.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Sixteen referred patients with tongue mobility complaints were included in this study. A GaAlAs laser device with a continuous wavelength of 808\u2009nm was used in the diode group. Frenulums were incised by applying 2\u2009W of laser power. The Er:YAG laser device with a continuous wavelength of 2940\u2009nm was used in the Er:YAG group. Frenulums were incised by applying 1\u2009W of laser power. The acceptability of the lingual frenectomy without local anesthesia and the degree of the postsurgical discomfort were evaluated.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Although the majority of patients (six) could be operated on without local anesthesia in the Er:YAG group, all patients could not be operated on without local anesthetic agent in the diode group. There were no differences between the two groups with regard to pain, chewing, and speaking on the first or seventh day after surgery, whereas patients had more pain in the Er:YAG group than in the diode group the first 3\u2009h after surgery.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The results indicate that only the Er:YAG laser can be used for lingual frenectomy without local anesthesia, and there was no difference between the two groups regarding the degree of the postsurgical discomfort except in the first 3\u2009h. In conclusion, these results indicate that the Er:YAG laser is more advantageous than the diode laser in minor soft-tissue surgery because it can be performed without local anesthesia and with only topical anesthesia.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2009.2498","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,11]],"date-time":"2009-09-11T08:00:16Z","timestamp":1252656016000},"page":"173-177","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Comparison of Diode Laser and Er:YAG Lasers in the Treatment of Ankyloglossia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Mutan Hamdi","family":"Aras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gaziantep University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"G\u00f6regen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Metin","family":"G\u00fcng\u00f6rm\u00fc\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hayati Murat","family":"Akg\u00fcl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","volume-title":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery","author":"Fonseca R.J.","year":"2000","unstructured":"Fonseca R.J. 2000.
