Mucocele is the most common minor salivary glands disease. Its management may present a challenge for dental professionals. The aim of the present clinical case was to describe mucocele treatment with diode laser and its benefits. . A case of lower lip mucocele in a 10-year-old female patient is reported. A conventional excision surgery was performed. Two months later, the patient reported discomfort and swelling at the same operative site. The lesion had recurred. Thus, mucocele was removed using a diode laser with wavelength of 980 nm, an initiated fiberoptic tip of 300 m, in continuous mode, and a power setting of 2 Watts. The procedure was rapidly completed with no bleeding. The patient was followed-up after 2 weeks and 6 months. The wound healed without complications: no postoperative discomfort or pain and no infection. There was no recurrence.
Diode laser is an effective, easy, bloodless, and well-accepted procedure to treat mucocele in pediatric patients.
黏液囊肿是最常见的小唾液腺疾病。其治疗可能给牙科专业人员带来挑战。本临床病例的目的是描述用二极管激光治疗黏液囊肿及其益处。报告了一名10岁女性患者下唇黏液囊肿的病例。进行了传统切除术。两个月后，患者报告在同一手术部位出现不适和肿胀。病变复发。因此，使用波长为980纳米、起始光纤尖端为300微米、连续模式、功率设置为2瓦的二极管激光切除黏液囊肿。手术迅速完成，无出血。对患者进行了2周和6个月的随访。伤口愈合无并发症：无术后不适或疼痛，无感染。无复发。
二极管激光是治疗小儿黏液囊肿的一种有效、简便、无血且易于接受的方法。
