A comparative study of the clinical outcomes of lip mucocele removal: 980 nm diode laser and conventional surgery
摘要
Damage to the salivary gland ducts can lead to the buildup of mucus, a benign lesion known as an oral mucocele. In order to determine which method is more effective for treating oral mucoceles, this study compared traditional surgical excision with a 980 nm diode laser.
MethodsThe thirty patients who were found to have oral mucoceles were split into two equal groups at random. Fifteen people in Group A had their tumors removed with a 980 nm diode laser, while fifteen people in Group B had their tumors removed using a standard scalpel. A number of clinical outcomes were assessed and statistically examined, including postoperative discomfort, intraoperative bleeding, healing assessments, and function interference.
ResultsIn contrast to the traditional surgery group, patients in the diode laser group experienced far less pain and bleeding during and after surgery. The laser group had more satisfied patients.
Conclusionthe 980 nm diode laser offers several benefits over conventional oral mucocele removal surgery, including better hemostasis, less postoperative pain, and the elimination of sutures. It is a safe and successful option.
