Case reports of epulis treated by CO2 laser without anesthesia

This study reports seven cases of epulis excised by the CO2 laser without anesthesia. The laser was used in a continuous wave mode at power setting of 2-4 W. All lesions were excised completely, and no patients felt pain during laser irradiation. The operation was successful without using surgical packs, and there was no postoperative discomfort. There has been no evidence of recurrence after operation.
