Abstract
The different effects of certain laser systems can apply for the removal of soft tissue tumors, soft tissue cysts, and precancerous lesions, such as leukoplakia. The indications of the lasers in oral surgery vary from the common excision, biopsies, and coagulation of blood vessels to the complicated therapy of the removal of precancerous lesions and the treatment of vascular tumors and peri-implantitis, which indeed seems to be very promising for the future. This chapter provides an overview about the application of various laser wavelengths with different clinical indications for the surgically oriented clinician. The removal of vascular lesions and malformations as well as precancerous lesions are separately dealt within this chapter. For more extensive gingival hyperplasias, the excision is carried out in combination with conventional gingivectomy knives, in order to shorten the surgical procedure.
