Patients were treated by diode laser (810±20 nm) at the affected areas of the oral cavity with continuous contact focused mode until excision of the lesion with coagulation of the oozing area after excision. Patients were followed up after 2 days, 7 days and 2 weeks to assess healing process and any post operative complication. Some of undiagnosed lesion sent for histopathological examination. No serious complications were recorded; one suffered from slight oedema and one case with simple bleeding. After 2 months follow up, recurrence occurred in one case. Diode laser provides a marked clinical improvement without the need for surgical intervention. | ||
