Background and objective Posterior column osteotomies, such as Smith-Petersen and Ponte osteotomies, are widely utilized in the surgical correction of spinal deformities to address sagittal and coronal imbalances by releasing the posterior tension band. While traditional methods using rongeurs and osteotomies are effective, these are often associated with prolonged operative time, significant blood loss, and increased risk to neural structures. These challenges have driven interest in advanced tools like the ultrasonic bone scalpel (UBS), which uses high-frequency vibrations to enable precise bone cutting with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

One of the most frequent conditions found in the oral cavity includes reactive lesions. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a prevalent condition characterized by an overgrowth, originating from the gingival tissue, periodontal ligament, and periosteum. The condition manifests as a small mucosal nodule and can be difficult to accurately identify since it resembles other lesions.

Method And Materials: Forty-five healthy, orthodontic patients with labial gingival enlargement on the six anterior teeth were selected and randomly assigned to one of the groups (conventional, laser, and nonsurgical periodontal treatment). Clinical parameters including clinical crown length, periodontal pocket depth, and Vertical Gingival Overgrowth Index were recorded at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
