Gingivectomy and ostectomy were performed using an Er, Cr:YSGG laser in both groups. Patients\u2019 perceptions of postsurgical morbidity were assessed using a 5\u2010point self\u2010administered Likert scale. The participants provided ratings on their experiences with anxiety, pain, swelling, bleeding, discomfort, tooth sensitivity, and use of pain medication after 7 days. Nine months after surgery, another survey was conducted to assess the overall satisfaction.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Patients reported less anxiety, postoperative pain, swelling, bleeding, discomfort, sensitivity, and need for pain medication after the FL than the OF surgery procedure. Both groups reported high satisfaction with the final cosmetic outcome after 9 months, although patients who underwent FL surgery tended to report even greater satisfaction. The FL procedure was also significantly faster, taking approximately 15\u2009min less than OF surgery.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The FL laser\u2010assisted ECL technique led to a more positive recovery and better patient experiences than the OF technique.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Clinical Relevance:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This study suggests that laser\u2010assisted FL ECL may be a more patient\u2010friendly and efficient procedure compared to traditional OF surgery with similar esthetic results. This could be important for dentists looking to offer their patients a less invasive and potentially more comfortable option.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/ijod\/1776661","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,25]],"date-time":"2025-08-25T09:43:40Z","timestamp":1756115020000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Open\u2010Flap and Flapless Er, Cr:YSGG Laser\u2010Assisted Esthetic Crown Lengthening: A Comparative Study of Patient Perceptions"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9069-3557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walid","family":"Altayeb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josep","family":"Arnabat-Dominguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sam B.","family":"Low","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Abdullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7745-5957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgios E.","family":"Romanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.16.e100"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12753"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dentre.2022.100059"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/prd.12206"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jerd.13247"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/dj12120418"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/prd.12080"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0757.2008.00283.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11607\/prd.2551"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_2","first-page":"357","article-title":"Laser-Assisted Flapless Crown Lengthening: A Case Series","volume":"31","author":"McGuire M.
