Application of laser technologies in patients with flat red oral mucosa

Abstract

This study reviews evidence on the diagnosis and treatment of lichen planus in the oral mucosa, and also evaluates the effectiveness of using erbium and neodymium lasers and scalpels for the surgical treatment of patients diagnosed with the same. Previous clinical and biomedical studies found that laser technologies offered several advantages over traditional scalpel treatment, including less tissue trauma, selective effects on the lesion, more favorable postoperative outcomes, and a shorter rehabilitation period. These factors, in turn, contributed to an increase in the efficiency of surgical treatment and a reduction in the likelihood of recurrence and postoperative complications.
