Abstract
Surgical Scalpel vs Laser: A Comparative Clinical Study in Intra Oral Incisional Biopsy
Highlights
Biopsy is defined as “the removal of tissue from the living organism for the purpose of microscopic examination and diagnosis” [1]
Interpretation & Conclusion: The study showed that the Diode laser is a good alternative for soft tissue incisional biopsies with respect to scalpel as it has less bleeding, less post-operative pain and not much difference in total time for the procedure
The Anesthesia with a vasoconstrictor is not given into the lesion to prevent its distortion but at a distance about 3-4mm away from the lesions margins so as to provide local loss of sensation and vasoconstriction which helps in getting a bloodless field
Summary
Biopsy is defined as “the removal of tissue from the living organism for the purpose of microscopic examination and diagnosis” [1]. By using this technique, the histologic characteristics of the lesion are determined, it is differentiated from other lesions and its extent is recognized, based on which a treatment plan can be prepared [2]. In dentistry three methods are used to cut tissues They are surgical scalpel, electrocautery and lasers. To compare diode laser incision with traditional blade incision for soft tissue incisional biopsy in terms of Hemostasis, Local anesthetic required, Duration of procedure and Post-operative pain
