“…Various studies proved that the laser therapy is sufficient for oral premalignant lesions further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of lasers in the treatment of malignant lesions. 10 In the patients having squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity, lasers have been used for the excision and it was presumed that thermal energy of laser may seal lymphatic vessels , arteries and veins. 9…”

“…Molding of the soft tissues during healing occurs and the morphology of the soft tissues is maintained without relapse even when appliance is not worn for a year. 10 Cleft lip scarring post lip revision surgeries have an annoying appearance especially in patients treated for a bilateral cleft lip. This scarring occurs due to the impaired healing or resolution.…”

Laser technology is an important addition to both therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. It is a rapidly growing field and the surgeon must have thorough knowledge of the current literature and also of the advancements so as to perform the laser surgical procedures efficiently and effectively. The surgeon must also be aware of the benefits, safety and hazards of the lasers and must follow the safety guidelines. Advances in the laser systems make the procedures easier to perform. Incorporating the lasers in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice has led to improvement in the patient care. In this article, we have summarized the application of lasers in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by review of literatures.

Purpose: At present, there are a variety of surgical methods for cleft palate repair, the authors first created the zigzag plasty of nasal mucosa musculature. The method is characteristic of better repair effect for anatomy and function of palatopharyngeal compared with the traditional method. Methods: Fifty patients with cleft palate were involved in this study, and treated with 3 different operative methods, respectively: zigzag palatoplasty for the repair of nasal mucosa myometrium (n = 17), Sommerlad palatoplasty (n = 18) and the double opposing Z palatoplasty (n = 15), respectively. The length of soft palate (the distance from incisor to the tip of uvula) and the distance from uvula to posterior pharynx before and after operation were selected as outcome index. The post-operative speech intelligibility, nasal resonance, and nasal leaking were also evaluated. Results: The results showed that the lengths of soft palate were increased by 14.50%, 13.23%, 10.10% with the zigzag palatoplasty, the double opposing Z palatoplasty and Sommerlad palatoplasty, respectively; the distances from the vertical tip to the posterior pharyngeal wall of 3 kinds of operation were reduced by 49.03%, 47.78%, 49.03%, respectively. The comparison of speech intelligibility, nasal resonance and nasal resonance assessment between/among groups were not significant. Conclusion: The authors’ research showed that the effect of zigzag palatoplasty works well in the repair of nasal mucosa myometrium and can be used as an optional method for functional repair of cleft palate.
