Aim:The study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of cryosurgery in the management of oral mucosal lesions. Time taken for healing, postoperative pain, secondary infection, and recurrence of lesion was evaluated.Materials and Methods:A total of 30 patients with oral mucosal lesions were included in the study. The patients were evaluated for pain and postoperative infection which was documented on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 21st day after the procedure. Other parameters such as healing time and scarring were assessed at 21st day. Recurrence of the lesion was evaluated in the 3rd and 6th postoperative month. All these data were statistically evaluated.Results:The pain and swelling which reduced mainly during the 7th postoperative day which was highly significant. The discomfort of the patient was relatively less. Only three patients showed delayed healing out of all patients. Recurrence of lesion was noted in two cases which conclude to about 6.7%.Conclusion:The cryosurgery is overall a better modality for treatment of oral lesions as it is more reasonable with adequate success. The procedure is relatively more acceptable and has shown to have a faster recovery.
Intraosseous hemangiomas, mainly of the jaw bones are quite uncommon lesions (0.5-1%) of all
intraosseous tumors. They are most commonly seen in second decade of life with a higher female
predilection (2:1). The most common sites of occurrence are skull and vertebral column and rarely seen in the mandible. The
origin of hemangiomas is still debatable. Hemangiomas are rare benign vasoformative neoplasms of endothelial origin. They
usually present as a rm, painless swelling of the jaw bone with or without facial asymmetry. Cavernous hemangioma poses a
diagnostic dilemma and mimics lesions like ameloblastoma, central giant cell granuloma, osteosarcoma, brous dysplasia .
Here we are presenting a case report of a 28 year old female with intraosseous cavernous hemangioma of right body of
mandible which was treated surgically and followed by reconstruction.
Lymphangioma is a benign tumor leading to hyperplasia of lymphatic vessels. The gold standard for treating lymphangiomas is surgical resection; alternative options being, sclerotherapy reduces the impact and complications of surgery.Abstract-Lymphangioma is a benign tumor leading to hyperplasia of lymphatic vessels.

Aim: The aim of present study is to evaluate quality of life before and after surgical treatment of OSMF
Methodology: The study includes 35 patients from outpatient department. Quality of life was assessed by
a self made questionnaire which was asked pre and post operatively 6 months. The data was analysed using SPSS 20.0 version.
The responses to various questions were described in percentages.
Results: The participants had pessimistic effect on quality of life before treatment while after surgical treatment and proper
exercise for 6 months quality of life is surely improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
