[Effect of microwave thermocoagulation on oral benign tumor].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article was to observe the effect of by microwave thermocoagulation on oral benign tumor and to provide theoretical basis for clinic treatment of oral benign tumor.


METHODS
165 patients with oral benign tumor were included. There were 83 patients with oral bursa cyst, 42 patients with hemangioma, 19 patients with papilloma, 14 patients with fibrous hyperplasia and 7 patients with epulis. All the patients were treated by WB-100 microwave thermocoagulation.


RESULTS
144 patients were effective after the first treatment and 21 patients were effective after the second treatments. No side effect and reoccurrence were found after 3 years.
