Excision of Mucocele Using Diode Laser in Lower Lip

Abstract: Mucoceles are nonneoplastic cystic lesions of major and minor salivary glands which result from the accumulation of mucus. These lesions are most commonly seen in children. Though usually these lesions can be treated by local surgical excision, in our case, to avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and edema and to enable better healing, excision was done using a diode laser in the wavelength of 940 nm.

“…Embora a excisão cirúrgica da glândula de forma convencional ainda seja a principal opção terapêutica 17 , outras opções têm sido relatadas na literatura, tais como o uso de laser 18,19 , aplicação de corticosteroides no interior da lesão 14,20 , crioterapia 13 , micromarsupialização 8,21 , entre outros.…”

“…Alguns autores descreveram a eficácia do laser no tratamento de alterações dos tecidos orais através de terapia fotodinâmica 23 e processos cirúrgicos 18,19 . Chiżyński et al 24 reportaram um caso clínico onde realizaram a remoção de mucocele na porção ventral da língua em paciente adulto através do laser de dióxido de carbono (CO 2 ) com a potência de 3 W e descreveram os ótimos resultados quanto à elevada taxa de absorção de água e seus efeitos mínimos sobre os tecidos adjacentes.…”

“…Moreover, no sutures are required at the end of the surgical procedure [ 23 ]. Previous authors showed laser-assisted mucocele excision [ 1 , 10 , 11 , 24 – 27 ]. A brief review of the dosimetry and techniques used in previous clinical studies is reported in Table 1 .…”

“…Some authors described the efficacy of lasers in the treatment of oral tissues problems for photodynamic therapy [ 8 , 9 ] and surgical procedures [ 1 , 10 , 11 ]. Diode laser (with wavelengths varying between 800 and 980 nm) is poorly absorbed by hard dental tissue, is safe, and well indicated for soft oral tissue surgeries for cutting, vaporization, curettage, blood coagulation, and hemostasis in the oral region [ 12 ].…”
