Description :
This paper describes Study of dissecting soft tissue by the surgical diathermy and laser technique and also shows the difference between them. Electro surgery is defined as the cutting and coagulation of oral tissue with a high frequency current. It is an application of electrically generated heat energy to tissue to alter it for therapeutic purposes. Methods such as scalpel, electro surgery and laser cutting techniques are used for cutting oral soft tissue in dentistry. However, they differ from the standpoints of homeostasis, healing time, cost of instruments, width of the cut, anesthetic required and disagreeable characteristics, such as smoke production, the odor of burning flesh and undesirable taste.
