Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of 810-nm diode LASER in the management of patients with oral leukoplakia. Materials and Methods: A total of 10 cases diagnosed clinically and histopathologically as leukoplakia were included in the present study. All the cases were treated using 810-nm diode LASER at a power of 5 watts and followed up for 3 months and assessed for pain and healing post-operatively. Results: All the lesions healed within duration of 3-4 weeks without scarring. Complications or recurrence has not been noticed in any of the patients except for mild pain during follow up period. Conclusion: Patient acceptance was found to be high using 810-nm diode LASER without compromising health and function. Thus usage of diode LASER may indeed be the best choice in the management of oral leukoplakia. Original Research Article Praveen et al.; BJMMR, 10(7): 1-6, 2015; Article no.BJMMR.19178 2
