Abstract: Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of dual-wavelength laser combined with digital guide plate in the traction of maxillary impacted central incisors. Methods: From June 2020 to June 2022, 20 children with impacted maxillary central incisors, aged 7-10 years old, were collected from the Department of Pediatric Stomatology, West District, Hefei City Stomatological Hospital. The operation time, blood loss, and VAS value were recorded. The VAS value was recorded on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after operation. The bracket dropout rate was recorded on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month after operation. Results: The blood loss of the laser combined with digital guide group was less than that of the traditional scalpel group. In terms of operation duration, the average operation time in the laser combined with digital guide group was (22.4±5.9) min, and that in the traditional scalpel group was (44.0±16.8) min. The first day and the third day after surgery laser guide group number in the hierarchy of lower VAS score less than traditional scalpel group, and the results were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS values during operation and on the 7th day after operation and in the bracket dropout rate at 1, 2, and 3 months after operation between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: It is a more comfortable and time-saving method to treat the maxillary impacted permanent incisors with the combination of dual-wavelength laser and digital guide plate.
