So, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of low power generating semiconductor laser on healing process after surgical procedure. DENS-BIO Laser applied to the wounds created by mesiodens extraction and lingual frenectomy. DENS-BIO Laser was irradiated on the wound with pulse 8(1000Hz) and 2mW, for 4 minutes. And then, healing process of surgical site was observed. The results from the present study can be summarized as follows : 1. In the irradiated wound, the healing process is more faster than not irradiation group. 2. Pain is less than not irradiation group.
