“… Pain – some pain is to be expected, but the discomfort is usually minor, and can be easily controlled with mild analgesics. Swelling – this is a normal immediate response to freezing, and will develop in the hours after cryotherapy, along with some degree of hyperaemia Blistering – vesicles can develop following freezing, this is more likely following treatment to the lips, and usually heals uneventfully, in our experience we have found …”

Cryosurgery is simply therapeutic tissue destruction, using the application of extreme cold. This article provides an update of the use of cryosurgery in soft tissue oral lesions; we outline the general principles, process of tissue injury, variables affecting the extent of freezing, advantages and side effects. Furthermore, we describe the application protocol of cryosurgery in a clinical environment, and introduce the terminology of cryodose for the literature.

“…Blistering is most common with lip lesions, it may crust and resemble a scab which should come away within 1 week. It is very uncommon for any secondary infection following cryotherapy. We have had only one incidence of post‐operative bleeding following cryosurgery of a large haemangioma, after 24 h, haemostasis was achieved easily.…”

“…In this case, the ultrasound of the labial tissue was sufficient to elucidate the benign nature of the vascular lesion and it was decided to treat it as conservatively as possible. The use of sclerosing agents has been documented in literature, although it may be related to the occurrence of minimal side effects [11], while the use of cryotherapy has shown excellent results [12], but in a recent study was associated with the presence of serious injuries to the treated organs and pain, even if not in oral mucosa [20].…”

“…The treatment of this type of lesions is often required only for aesthetic reasons because are asymptomatic, especially if smaller than 1 cm and with a little risk of traumatization. Among the treatments proposed in the scientific literature, there are sclerotherapy or injections with sodium tetradecyl sulfate [10,11], cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen [12], photocoagulation therapy with neodymium laser (1064 nm) and a high-intensity diode laser [13][14][15].…”

The classification of vascular lesions of the oral cavity is complex. To simplify, these lesions can be divided into two large groups: neoplasms (mostly benign) and vascular malformations. Laser treatment of oral vascular lesions seems to be an excellent device, and different wavelengths have been reported in the literature. The purpose of this work is to document a case of vascular lesion of the lip, developed in a few weeks in an adult patient successfully treated with a minimally invasive technique with the use of diode laser 810 nm. A young adult female patient was referred for a labial exophytic lesion that continued to grow despite previous topical therapies prescribed by dermatologists. The first dermatologist diagnosed herpetic manifestation and the second diagnosed labial granuloma. The patient has been subjected to ultrasound examination, which confirmed the suspected diagnosis of the benign vascular injury. The patient underwent 3 photocoagulation sessions performed with 810 nm diode laser and after 2 months the lesion completely healed without scarring and without alteration of sensitivity. Lip diseases are often treated dermatologists, although the labial mucosa belongs to the oral cavity. Through the use of a safety device, this type of injury can be managed within the dental office, and so an opportunity for dental practice. The diode laser can be considered safe and effective in the treatment of vascular lesions of the lip.

“…The necrotic tissue that results is allowed to slough naturally after the lesion is frozen [1]. The ensuing lesion that is subjected to cryotherapy is defined by a neatly delineated necrosis that corresponds to the volume of previously frozen tissue [2]. Cryotherapy was initially used for the treatment of cancers of the lip and mouth and is currently used for the treatment of both benign and malignant skin growths [3].…”

Recurrent bleeding due to mild trauma, tongue biting, poor oral hygiene, and expansion of the lesions causing difficulty in chewing, swallowing, or speaking is common sequelae of vascular lesions of the tongue. Cryosurgery is a technique for destroying lesions by the rapid freezing method. The necrotic tissue that results is allowed to slough naturally after the lesion is frozen. Cryosurgery has been utilized in the medical and dentistry field to treat many lesions as it is successful and easy to perform. It has a number of advantages, including ease of use, minimal infection rate, and no bleeding intraoperatively. This report presents a case of a 15-year-old female patient with a hemangiomatous lesion on the tongue that was successfully treated by cryosurgery using a liquid nitrogen spray. The patient demonstrated complete resolution of the lesion with good wound healing during the one-year follow-up period.
