Abstract

Mucocele is a benign, mucus-containing cystic lesion
with livid color and most frequently localized on the
lower lip. This type of lesion is a result of an alteration
of the minor salivary glands due to mucus accumulation, causing limited swelling. It is well surrounded
from the adjoining tissue, forming a ball like structure
above the mucosa.
Aim: To highlight the benefits of the laser beam in
comparison with the conventional methods for removal of mycotic cysts.
The therapeutic procedure for this lesion is surgical removal with conventional or laser method – the method
being used for removal of the cysts in our patients.
After the laser removal of the mycotic cysts, we got
great results, with almost none postoperative complications. The patients accepted the treatment without
any prejudice and they were content with the procedure.
The benefit of the laser beam for mucocele removal is
seen in its complex anti inflammatory effect and the
low comorbidity for the patients, contratry to the conventional method.
The laser beam is a coherent, monochromatic, oriented
and it can be transferred to thermal power, that is more
frequently used nowadays in dentistry.
