View allWhat's the most effective way to treat a mucocele and prevent it from coming back would laser surgery work better than a scalpel or are there other options I should consider
For oral mucoceles, both laser surgery and surgical excision (with a scalpel) can be effective. Laser surgery, like CO2 laser, may offer advantages like minimal scarring, faster healing, and less discomfort, particularly for pediatric patients. However, surgical excision, especially if it includes removal of the surrounding salivary gland and duct, can be very effective in preventing recurrence. The best approach depends on the specific case, the patient's preferences, and the dentist's expertise.

What exactly happens during guided dental implant surgery I'm getting it done soon and feeling pretty nervous Also what side effects should I expect and any important precautions for the first few days after the procedure
Guided implant surgery uses advanced technology to ensure accurate implant placement, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. It involves a 3D model of your jawbone and implant placement plan, followed by surgery using a guide that helps the dentist insert the implant with precision. Expect some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor pain, but these typically resolve within a few days.
