“…In medicine, the Cryosurgery form of cryotherapy is used to remove, destroy and treat the cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions of the skin, uterine cervix tissues, and prostate cancer. Also, Cryoneurotomy is used to produce an extended, but reversible, nerve block in the management of uncontrollable neurogenic pain in the pre-auricular area [7] . Cryotherapy has been used in dentistry after intraoral excisional surgical procedures, periodontal surgery, extractions, and implant placement and showed positive effects in reducing swelling, pain and arthritis associated with temporomandibular joint disorders [4,8] .…”

Patients undergoing endodontic treatment may develop post-endodontic pain, leading to pain and inflammation. Cryotherapy is a remedial procedure widely used in the field of medicine and dentistry, considered to be effective at reducing edema, pain, bleeding and inflammation. In endodontics, it is relatively new and may be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of post-endodontic pain. Additionally, cryogenic treatment is considered a key factor in strengthening rotary NiTi endodontic files. Further well-designed clinical studies will be conducted to establish the effective use of cryotherapy in the control of post-endodontic pain in clinical practice. This article describes the concept of cryotherapy and its potential clinical implications in endodontics.

“…It is derived from a Greek word 'Kryos' which means frost, thus meaning frost therapy. 2 According to the medical definition, it is defined as a procedure used to destroy the tissue of both benign and malignant lesions by the freezing and re-thawing process. It is done with the use of cold, which is applied locally or generally various methodto lower the temperature of tissue that is affected.…”

The application of low controlled temperatures had advanced in recent years in many branches of surgery. Cryotherapy has opted as an option to destroy cancerous cells in mostly the head and neck region. In many cutaneous conditions, it has been productively used. It is a therapeutical process in which tissue inflammatory and destructive response is done by freezing. Hence, it deliberately destroys tissue by using severe cold. Mouth is reasonably accessible due to oral mucosa's moist surface that is well suitable for the application of cryoprobe. We will discuss how cryotherapy can be used instead of surgical procedures.

Purpose To compare the post-operative wound healing of patients treated for excision of the nevus/mole from maxillofacial region with surgical, electrosurgery and diode laser. Materials and Methods Forty-five clinically confirmed cases of benign nevus were included in the study and randomly divided into three groups according to the technique used for excision, i.e. Group A-surgical excision, Group B-diode laser and Group C-electrosurgery. Postoperative wound evaluation was done using Stony Brook scar evaluation scale on post-operative photographs taken on days 7, 21 and 90 (3 months). Results Statistically, there was no significant difference between the three techniques on post-operative day 90. Clinically, hypopigmentation was noted with diode laser and electrosurgical excision of benign nevus. Conclusion Since all three techniques yielded statistically comparable results, the patients can be given a choice of technique to undergo surgery. Surgical excision being the most cost effective and nil post-operative hypopigmentation may be the treatment of choice for majority of the patients.
