Management of Mucocele by Laser- A Case Report
Abstract
Abstract:
Mucoceles are benign cystic lesions developing from minor salivary glands and commonly encountered in dental practice. Removal of mucoceles can be accomplished using various surgical methods, including scalpel excision, electrocautery, cryotherapy, and laser surgery. Diode lasers have been found to be a safe and effective treatment modality for mucocele removal due to their precise and minimally invasive nature. This article aims to discuss the use of diode lasers for excision of mucocele.
