A newer technique of suture placement in scalpel and laser-assisted vestibular deepening

Surgical vestibular deepening procedures are well established and are being routinely performed.

In spite of being an old technique, postoperative results in most of the instances are disappointing. Usually eventual loss of the clinically gained vestibular depth obtained through the surgical procedures occurs. This happens mainly due to rapid epithelialisation of the surgical wound and healing by scarring. Therefore, in the present case, after the initial incision, the labial free end of flap was sutured by a new technique so as to prevent rapid epithelialisation. Finally, the incision was completed and vestibular deepening was achieved with the help of diode laser as they are reported to produce remarkably less scarring at the surgical site.
