Popis:	The CO2 laser has been actively used clinically for soft tissue surgery. The advantages have been widely acknowledged. In implant related tissue surgery, the use .6f CO2 laser has been debated on whether the heat generated during the procedure would be detrimental to the bone thus losing the implants through disosseointegration. In this preliminary work, CO2 laser was used to perform a simulated gingivectomy of tissue surrounding plasma coated titanium implants. The purpose was to observe the pattern of heat generated at different levels of the implant body. The safe power range and standard precaution was also identified. The results suggested that power output between 6 Watt to 8 Watt in repeated pulsed mode with duration of 5 seconds is considered safe. With this mode the operator
