Sažetak
Many clinical situations in oral surgery and dental implantology require the removal of pathological, changed or healthy soft and hard tissue. Some oral lesions require special treatment, either there is a tendency of malignant transformation, or an aesthetic problem for a patient, or else a lesion can represent a functional problem for a patient. Treatment for oral lesions may include classical surgical excision, cryosurgery and laser surgery (ablation or excision). There are certain limitations with every treatment modality. Lasers have been studied as high potential tools due to their coagulative properties and reduced oedema and postoperative pain level. Especially the Er:YAG laser (the most highly absorbed laser in water) appears to be a very promising tool for excision and ablation for the oral cavity clinical indications. Recently, there has been a completely new laser treatment method available that involves the use of a digitally contolled dental laser handpiece. It provides the possibility to guide the Er:YAG laser beam automatically in the required shape and dimension. Automatic guidance of the laser beam allowed higher repetitions to be used, and consequently the procedures are completed faster. After the treatments, a perfect healing process, with no postoperative complications are observed. Such precise cutting and coverage of large areas, especially in cases of bone surgery, is highly appreciated by oral surgeons and dentists.
