[The significance of cryotherapy for the treatment of benign and malignant mouth mucosal changes].
Leukoplakia and haemangioma of the oral mucosa can be removed by cryosurgery with excellent success. Cryosurgical treatment of mucosal carcinoma should only be applied if the chances for an operation are restricted by certain factors, for instance poor general condition of the patient or haemorrhagic diathesis. The advantages of cryotherapy as applied to the oral mucosa rest in the bloodless application of this technique and in the possibility to heal, with tender scar formation, mucosal changes even of large dimensions, provided they grow superficially.
