摘要

Background

Reactive lesions of the oral mucosa, including pyogenic granuloma, inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, and traumatic fibroma, commonly develop in response to chronic irritation. Conventional surgical excision may be associated with intraoperative bleeding and postoperative discomfort. Laser therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative with improved clinical outcomes.

Aim

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of diode laser therapy in the management of few reactive lesions of the oral mucosa.

Materials and methods

This case series included four patients diagnosed clinically and histopathologically with reactive oral lesions. The lesions were excised using a 980-nm diode laser operated in continuous mode at 1.0 W in contact mode under local anaesthesia. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were assessed during follow-up.

Results

Laser excision disclosed minimal intraoperative bleeding, good patient compliance, and uneventful healing. Histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis in all cases. No postoperative complications or recurrence were observed during the follow-up period.

Conclusion

Diode laser therapy is an effective and minimally invasive treatment modality for reactive lesions of the oral mucosa, offering excellent haemostasis, patient comfort, and favourable healing outcomes.
