Oral Fibroma Removal With a Er,Cr:YSSG Laser

Fibromas often occur orally and are typically due to trauma to underlying connective tissue resulting in tissue enlargement. To prevent continuing trauma to the tissue, excision may be recommended, and biopsy is often indicated for these masses to confirm their diagnosis and to rule out a potential malignant cause. This article presents a case report in which a Er,Cr:YSSG laser was utilized for excision of an oral fibroma. This approach enabled excellent tissue response compared to the use of a scalpel or monopolar electrosurgery, with minimal patient postoperative discomfort and improved healing.
