KUHN-DALL'MAGRO, Alessandra et al. Surgical laser on fibrous hyperplasia treatment. RFO UPF [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.2, pp. 206-210. ISSN 1413-4012.

Objective: to demonstrate through a clinical case report the excision of an inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) with the use of surgical diode laser. Case report: male leucoderma patient, 48 years old, sought assistance on the Specialty Outpatient Clinic of SUS (Unified Health System) of the Hospital São Vicente de Paulo, in the city of Passo Fundo / RS - Brazil, lacking tooth 46 and with nodular exophytic lesion, pedunculated, with a pinkish color and smooth surface, on the buccal mucosa measuring approximately 2 cm and occupying the space of the missing element. The patient had a history of 6 years without pain complaint on site. The proposed treatment was surgical removal with diode laser, following manufacturer's suggested protocol. Under local infiltrative anesthesia, an excision of the lesion with uniform incision at the base was made. The surgical specimen was fixed in 10% formaldehyde and sent for pathological examination. Histopathological examination presented fibroma irritation as diagnosis. Final considerations: the use of surgical diode laser is a safe and effective method, and presents numerous advantages compared to the conventional technique for surgical excisions of soft tissue lesions in the oral cavity. Surgical removal of IFH with small safety margin, and removal of the etiologic factor is a satisfactory therapy. The sample should always be sent for pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis. The dentist must have specific knowledge to operate and recommend the use of surgical laser.
