Exclusion Criteria:
Device: Photobiomodulation
Other: Hyaluronic acid after photobiomodulation
The surgical sites were irradiated with a diode laser (980 nm, 0.2W) only.
The surgical sites after gingivectomy were irradiated with a diode laser (980 nm, 0.2W) then covered by 2% Hyaluronic acid gel loaded in a special appliance for each patient.
Wound healing
Assessed using Landry's healing index which grades the wound on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) * Very poor (1): ≥50% of gingiva red, bleeding on palpation, Granulation tissue present, Non-epithelialized incision margin with loss of epithelium beyond the margin. * Poor (2): ≥50% of gingiva red, bleeding on palpation, Granulation tissue present, Non-epithelialized incision margin with exposed connective tissue * Good (3): ≥25% and\<50% of gingiva red, No bleeding on palpation, no granulation tissue, No exposed connective tissue on the incision margin * Very good (4): \<25% of gingiva red, No bleeding on palpation, no granulation tissue, No exposed connective tissue on the incision margin * Excellent (5): All tissues are pink, No bleeding on palpation, no granulation tissue, No exposed connective tissue on the incision margin
Time frame: up to 21 days
Perceived pain
This was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Patients were instructed to chart their perceptions of pain using VAS ranging from 0-10; where 0 represents no pain/burning sensation and 10 represents severe pain/burning sensation.
Time frame: up to 21 days
