Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
the use of this red (3% erythrosine) dye will act as a substitute for internal chromophores and will help to increase the absorption of diode lasers within the tissue and will thus improve the cutting efficiency reducing the surgical time during laser gingivectomy in humansTimepoint: 1 week, 1 month, 3 months—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
not applicableTimepoint: not applicable—
