The Effectiveness of Laser-Assisted Surgical Excision of Leukoplakias and Hyperkeratosis of Oral Mucosa: A Case Series in A Group of Patients

Abstract: Introduction: In the different branches of dentistry, the use of laser to solve different clinical situations is increasing due to numerous advantages that have been studied in literature since the 70s. Leucoplakia and hyperkeratosis can benefit from laser-assisted treatment. In most cases biopsy sampling, histological examination and, if no malignant cells are present, the follow-up is needed. However, even if the lesion is free of dysplasia patients often ask to eliminate these white spots that are always a … Show more

“…In a study in which the CO2 laser was used to remove benign and malignant lesions, three patients experienced post-surgery bleeding [101,108]. Only minor side effects were described, such as thermal damage or a light burning sensation [100,114]. In electronic research on the impact of lasers on orodental tissues, several adverse effects on the tooth surface and subcutaneous and submucosal tissues, as well as other adverse reactions, are described.…”

“…If these measures fail, the second step is surgical/invasive diagnostics and treatment. Mainly CO2, Nd:YAG, Er:YAG and diode lasers are used, with the advantages of less bleeding, swelling and pain [101].Especially in high-grade lesions and of course in carcinoma in situ, a complete resection is the treatment of choice [102]. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and therapy is used for detection, as well as treatment, of oral neoplasia and potentially malignant lesions.…”
