To determine whether the treatment of oral leukoplakia with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) lasers versus CO(2) lasers results in lower recurrence rates.
Retrospective data were collected from the records of 30 patients (mean age 75.6 years) with 35 primary oral leukoplakia who had their lesions ablated by KTP laser, and 45 patients (mean age 59.9 years) with 59 primary oral leukoplakia who had CO(2) laser treatment. The recurrence rates of lesions between these 2 groups was then compared.
A statistically significant (P = .049) reduction in recurrence rates for those patients treated with KTP lasers versus CO(2) lasers was found.
The use of KTP lasers for the treatment of oral leukoplakia may result in lower recurrence rates than when using CO(2) lasers.
确定用磷酸钛氧钾(KTP)激光与二氧化碳(CO₂)激光治疗口腔白斑是否能降低复发率。
从30例(平均年龄75.6岁)有35处原发性口腔白斑且其病变用KTP激光切除的患者记录以及45例(平均年龄59.9岁)有59处原发性口腔白斑且接受CO₂激光治疗的患者记录中收集回顾性数据。然后比较这两组病变的复发率。
发现与接受CO₂激光治疗的患者相比,接受KTP激光治疗的患者复发率有统计学意义的降低(P = 0.049)。
与使用CO₂激光相比,使用KTP激光治疗口腔白斑可能导致更低的复发率。
