ND: Yag Laser Excision of Lower Lip Mucocelesin Pediatric Dentistry: 12-Year Follow-Up Case Report by Almeida ER in IPDOAJ - Lupinepublishers
Mucoceles is the most common benign minor salivary gland lesion commonly
affecting children and adolescents, being
more prevalent on lower labial mucosa with periodic rupture history and
local trauma. A complete excision is recommended for
mucoceles, including associated salivary gland tissue and marginal
glands. Conventional surgical intervention as well as laser
excision is indicated. This case report describes lower lip mucoceles
excision with an Nd: YAG laser in a 6-year-old girl, with no
recurrence after 12 years. When properly used, Nd: YAG laser can play a
beneficial role to both clinicians and patients in achieving
high quality results, as it provides good hemostasis, reduced
postoperative swelling, bacterial reduction at the surgical site, lesser
need for suturing, faster healing, and less postoperative pain.
