Lateral heat production during the use of electrosurgical procedures in the oral cavity causes denaturation of the connective tissue adjacent to the incision line. This study evaluated the denatured zone following electrosurgery incision in dog gingiva with a traditional tungston wire electrode and a no. 15 surgical blade adapted for electrosurgery use. The effects of using a passive electrode during surgical procedures and using an “autosensor” circuit to control power adjustment were also evaluated. It was found that a surgical blade adapted for electrosurgery produces a zone of denatured tissue that is not statistically different from that produced with a wire electrode. Moreover, no differences were noted between incisions produced with manual power adjustment and those with power controlled by the “autosensor” circuit. A significantly wider zone of denatured tissue was produced when incisions were made without a passive electrode in place.
