Excision of mucocele by diode laser: Experience of five cases

Abstract

A mucocele is a non-cancerous growth located in the oral mucosa caused by the buildup of mucus. These mucus collections are primarily triggered by lip biting, trauma, or alterations in the function of minor salivary ducts. There are various methods for treating a mucocele, among those using a laser diode for excision promotes prompt & proper healing and reduces the chances of recurrence. Here we present five cases of mucocele excised with diode laser.
