[Use of laser-therapy for treatment of oral and maxillofacial hemangioma].
Laser-therapy opened new perspectives for the treatment of vascular lesions of the maxillofacial regions.


METHODS
The study evaluated the results of diode laser percutaneous coagulation of oral and maxillofacial hemangioma. A group of 12 patients with sonographically certified hemangioma was treated using percutaneous coagulation with a diode laser.


RESULTS
The results showed good and rapid healing, without any complications. All patients presented size reduction of the lesions, a favorable esthetic appearance and no morbidity. There were no complications over a follow-up period of 3 years. The study recommends diode laser-therapy as a valuable treatment option for hemangioma in correctly selected indications.
