Recurrence of premalignant oral cavity and oropharynx lesions after pulsed diode laser treatment.
Abstract
Leukoplakia is common with a 1 % incidence in the population and may harbor preneoplastic changes. Diode lasers provide both precision and coagulation for excision of superficial lesions in clinical and operative settings with little damage to deeper tissue. We aim to determine the rate of oral and oropharyngeal hyperkeratosis and dysplasia recurrence after treatment with diode laser.
