Carbon dioxide laser for excision of oral hemangioma: review of literature and case report

ABSTRACT

CO[2] laser beam was successfully used to excise a recurred buccal hemangioma in a 21 - years old female. Unique advantages using this technique are many. Some of which adequate hemostasis, precision of layer cutting and minimal tissue necrosis at the excision border, which are reflected on minimal postoperative pain and edema are emphasised in this report. CO[2] laser beam could be used to adequately excise vascular lesions that proved problematic, with the conventional techniques
