“…It is of a long evolution and can appear in any place of the oral cavity; however, it appears most frequently in the tongue, palate and cheeks-the sites with the highest probability of suffering this type of trauma. 3 It also frequently appears in the oral mucosa along the plane of occlusion of maxillary and mandibular teeth. 4 The most common traumatic agents include occlusal trauma, lip biting and irritation caused by poor tooth position, irregular dental edges, fractured restorations, dental calculus, prosthetic apparatuses, orthodontics, and maladapted orthopedics.…”

Fibroma is currently considered the most common reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local trauma in the oral cavity. This case deals with the excision of a traumatic fibroma using diode laser (Epic X, wavelength of 940nm, continuous mode, 5W power), whose energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin (chromophores) and is indicated in soft tissue surgeries, favoring coagulation. The results are consistent with the benefits demonstrated in the scientific literature: better visibility in the surgical act due to achieved hemostasis, excellent postoperative phase due to the absence of pain and inflammation, with no need for analgesic medication, no use of sutures, no scarring and no recurrence. It is a safe and fast procedure that also allows performing a histopathological study without altering the tissues to be examined. In the case presented here, the histopathological study confirmed the presumptive diagnosis of fibroma.
