“…Treatment of OSCC consists of radical surgery with safety margins; however, post‐surgical sequelae can frequently have deleterious effects on patients’ quality‐of‐life. OSCC can arise from different subsites, but it's usually observed on the tongue and mouth floor 13,15 . After tumour resection, the use of a skin graft to reconstruct the defect left is usually performed ‐ all of the cases, except for one, described in Table 2 were treated with intraoral grafts after an OSCC removal 1–9 …”

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the successful epilation of intraoral grafts using the diode laser system.Methods and Results: Two male patients at a 12‐month follow‐up – who underwent radical resection of oral cancer located in the mouth floor and tongue followed by reconstruction with cutaneous flap – showed hypertrichosis in the graft region, leading to dysphagia and dysphonia. The diode (980 nm) laser was performed for both cases in order to remove the ectopic hair. Excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes with total hair removal and alteration of the tissue surface were achieved.Conclusions: There is no currently standard protocol for the laser epilation use on hairy grafts because each graft required a different number of sessions for total epilation. The diode laser system appears to be a successful therapeutic option for patients suffering from hypertrichrosis in the oral cavity.
