“…The possibility of having a diagnosis, with laser devices, is maintained, despite the thermal effect in the peri-incisional area due to the heat released by the photothermal effect, which increases the temperature of the tissue, at the incision point; so, it is clear that the laser can be used for biopsies of clinically benign lesions [30,31]. Compared to the traditional cold blade approach, however, the laser offers numerous advantages, including a hemostatic effect that defines intraoperative hemostasis, antibacterial effect on the incision path, better patient comfort, second intention healing without sutures and reduced postoperative edema [11]; for this reason, it is considered the gold standard in the approach to clinically benign lesions of oral soft tissues [32,33].…”
