Treatment of oral leukoplakia with laser

Various treatment procedures for oral leukoplakia have been reported. However, after some treatments, oral leukoplakia  show recurrence and/or malignant transformation, even following complete resection.

Furthermore, patients with oral leukoplakia may develop new lesions in other oral cavity locations.

Laser surgery for oral mucosal lesions has been reported to have many advantages, and it is widely used in the treatment of oral leukoplakia. Laser therapy uses beams of light to destroy the affected tissue.

Commonly caused by :

• Smoking
• Chewing tobacco or betel nut
• Irritation from rough teeth or sharp tooth surfaces
• Prolonged alcohol abuse
• Underlying autoimmune disorder

Treatment time of oral leukoplakia :-

Leukoplakia is usually clear in a few weeks or months after the source of irritation is removed. Laser can be used for the complete excision of the lesion with well-healed without any significant scarring

. Laser treatments have shown better healing, less soft tissues retraction and less post-operative pain, comparing with traditional surgery.

If eliminating the source of irritation is ineffective in reducing leukoplakia, the lesion may need to be surgically removed

We suggest that the use of the  laser can be a safe and effective treatment modality for patients suffering from oral leukoplakia.
