Cotton‐swab cryotherapy for oral leukoplakia

Abstract: For OL lesions with a mean surface area of < or = 1.8 cm2, CR can be achieved with fewer than 7 CSC treatments on average. CSC is a simple, safe, easy, conservative, and acceptable treatment modality for OL lesions.

“…It may transform into squamous cell carcinoma (1 to 47%). The high malignant transformation rates of OL lesions highlight the importance of early detection and treatment of these lesions (21). In the present study, 4 OL lesions, located on tongue, hard palate, soft palate and alveolar mucosa, respectively, were treated with cryosurgery.…”

“…A duração do período de congelamento, dada pelo tempo de aplicação do frio sobre o tecido em um ciclo, deve ser mínima, de modo a proporcionar o congelamento necessário do tecido e não se estender demais, para evitar dor desnecessária ao paciente. O número de ciclos de congelamento está diretamente relacionado aos danos sofridos pelas células expostas e já previamente enfraquecidas, aumentando-se o tamanho dos cristais de gelo intracelulares de acordo com a repetição dos ciclos 13 .…”
