    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Dermatology
    • Oral Surgery

    Background:

    • Cryosurgery is a medical technique utilizing extreme cold to destroy unwanted tissue.
    • Understanding the biological mechanisms of cold-induced tissue damage is crucial for optimizing cryosurgical outcomes.
    • Controlled freezing has shown promise in treating various dermatological and oral conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the biological mechanisms of tissue necrosis induced by controlled freezing.
    • To highlight the significance of these mechanisms in cryosurgical techniques.
    • To evaluate the clinical applications, outcomes, and complications of cryosurgery for oral lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of biological mechanisms of cryonecrosis.
    • Description of clinical events and complications following cryosurgery.
    • Analysis of treatment outcomes for over 300 patients with oral lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Cryosurgery effectively induces tissue necrosis through controlled freezing.
    • The oral mucosa is highly responsive to cryosurgical treatment for diverse lesions.
    • Observations from 300+ patients provide insights into advantages, disadvantages, and technique variations.

    Conclusions:

    • Cryosurgery is a valuable therapeutic option for numerous oral lesions.
    • Understanding cryonecrosis mechanisms enhances clinical cryosurgical practice.
    • Further evaluation of technique variations can optimize patient outcomes and minimize complications.
