Abstract
The histochemical characteristics of gingival collagen after Erbium ER:YAG laser periodontal plastic surgery, are evaluated. The results show that during the first operative week, collagen fibers exhibited polarization colors in the green to green-yellow range, implying loosely packed collagen fibers. The occurrence of the sequential series of changes in collagen during gum healing provides a useful adjunct in the assessment of gingival health.
