Electrosurgical Management of Soft Tissues and Restorative Dentistry
Proper use of oral electrosurgery permits rapid, full management of soft-tissue problems related to mouth preparation for fixed and removable prosthodontics. The ability to control precisely the zone of coagulation enables the dentist to carve, sculpture, or modify the soft-tissue contours with or without hemorrhage.
Restorative dentists possess a high degree of artistic sculpturing skills that can be effectively utilized to harmonize restorative and soft-tissue contours. The life expectancy and function of all fixed and removable restorations depend upon optimal health of the supporting tissues for biomechanical compatibility.
Modern electrosurgical techniques and equipment make it possible for the general practitioner, as well as the specialist, to deliver more timely and more comfortable improved fixed and removable appliance therapy to their patients.
