Laser applications for benign oral lesions

Abstract: Lasers are a safe and effective means to selectively destroy specific chromphores. Such specific targeting ensures complete destruction of pathological tissue, decreasing the possibility of relapse and/or recurrence. Selective laser treatment of benign intraoral lesions represents a niche application that fills a gap in the multidisciplinary management of several conditions such as oral vascular anomalies and hairy reconstructive flaps.

“…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].…”

“…Lazer uygulamasının dudak hemanjiyomlarının tedavisinde lezyonun büyüklüğünü önemli derecede azaltılabileceğini belirtirken, tedaviden sonraki bir kaç ay içerisinde lezyonun tekrarına dair bir bulguya rastlanmadıklarını da vurgulamışlardır. 38 Nicoloso ve ark. (2016), kısa lingual frenuluma bağlı olarak dil hareketlerinde kısıtlama ve bu nedenle de yutkunma, beslenme ve diksiyonda sorun yaşayan 9 yaşında ankiloglossili hastanın, dil frenektomisinde yüksek yoğunluklu diode lazer kullanmışlardır.…”

“…The advantage of these lasers are deeper penetration and a lower absorption coefficient of melanin. The alexandrite laser, which uses a chromium crystal to emit a pulsed 755 nm red light, has been shown to be an effective treatment for nodular or hypertrophic PWS and for venous lakes, as the longer wavelength can penetrate deeper in the tissue . Similarly, diode lasers have been developed that produce wavelengths between 800 and 980 nm, targeting the near‐infrared hemoglobin peak, and allowing efficacious treatment of deeper vascular targets while safely treating darker skin than the PDL.…”

“…[28][29][30] The main disadvantage to the 532 nm wavelength produced by these lasers is the greater absorption of has been shown to be an effective treatment for nodular or hypertrophic PWS and for venous lakes, as the longer wavelength can penetrate deeper in the tissue. 32,33 Similarly, diode lasers have been developed that produce wavelengths between 800 and 980 nm, leg veins, and other venous malformation. [34][35][36][37] Another laser in the near-infrared spectrum is the Nd:YAG laser, whose active medium is a crystal of yttrium, aluminum, and garnet doped with neodymium ions and whose beam is approximately 1064 nm.…”
