The use of the carbon dioxide laser for the removal of soft tissue lesions in the oral cavity is presented. The laser was used to remove numerous benign lesions and growths, for incisional and excisional biopsies, and for the removal of microinvasive and macroinvasive carcinomas. Owing to its coagulation properties, the laser was used effectively in treating patients with oral lesions compounded by blood dyscrasias. Because of the advantages of a relatively bloodless surgery; decreased postoperative discomfort; minimal swelling and scarring; and the laser's ability to coagulate, vaporize, or cut, the CO2 surgical laser offers the dental surgeon a viable and in many cases an improved alternative to the scalpel. Laser techniques and several case reports are discussed.
介绍了二氧化碳激光在口腔软组织病变切除中的应用。该激光用于切除多种良性病变和肿物、进行切开活检和切除活检，以及切除微侵袭性和大侵袭性癌。由于其凝血特性，该激光有效地用于治疗伴有血液系统疾病的口腔病变患者。鉴于相对无血手术、术后不适减轻、肿胀和瘢痕最小化以及激光的凝血、汽化或切割能力等优点，二氧化碳外科激光为牙科外科医生提供了一种可行的、在许多情况下优于手术刀的选择。讨论了激光技术及几例病例报告。
