Electrosurgical management of hyperplastic tissue.
Electrosurgery is a safe, effective modality for tissue management in conjunction with restorative dentistry. It can be used to remove redundant tissue to gain access for tooth preparation, develop a gingival trough around the margins of a prepared tooth for an accurate impression, control hemorrhage, remove opercula, and plane and reshape tissue of an edentulous area for the construction of a hygienic and esthetic pontic.
