Electrosurgery in aesthetic and restorative dentistry: A literature review and case reports
Kusum Bashetty et al. J Conserv Dent. 2009 Oct.
Abstract
Electrosurgery has been used in dentistry for more than half a century. There is abundant literature on electrosurgery dating back more than a century. During the past three decades, a substantial increase in minimally invasive surgery and microvascular surgery prompted greater use of electrosurgery. Although this surge in utilization has resulted in new applications, equipment features, problems and solutions, the use of electrosurgery in the field of restorative dentistry has remained relatively unchanged. The presence of conflicting and sometimes confusing information on electrosurgical wound healing in the dental literature is the most likely reason. This article briefly explains the literature review of electrosurgery and clinical application of electrosurgery in aesthetic and restorative dentistry.
Keywords: Bipolar electrosurgery; crown lengthening; electrosurgery; gingivectomy; monopolar electrosurgery.
