Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: There is a wide range of oral soft tissue benign lesions, most of them amenable to surgical resection. Various modalities of Surgical resection are available including cold surgical resection, Cryo surgery and Laser resection. Laser resection is an ideal means of treatment of oral soft tissue benign lesions. Carbon dioxide laser is the most commonly used laser for surgical excision of oral soft tissue benign lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the overall effectiveness of Carbon dioxide laser as a treatment modality of oral soft tissue benign lesions. Materials and Methods: In the present study there were 65 patients with 67 oral soft tissue benign lesions including papilloma, mucocele, hemangioma, aphthous ulcers, Whartons duct calculi, ankyloglossia, fibroma, nicotinic stomatitis and pyogenic granuloma. Results: In the present study, overall cure rate of 100% was achieved. There was no major intraoperative or postoperative complication. Four lesions had minor intraoperative bleeding which was effectively controlled. Conclusion: Carbon dioxide laser is a very useful surgical tool in management of oral soft tissue benign lesions allowing excellent intraoperative visibility, haemostasis, better patient compliance, minimal chances of recurrence and is a time saving procedure.
