450 nm diode laser: A new help in oral surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the performance of 450 nm diode laser in oral surgery procedures.


METHODS
The case described consisted of the removal of a lower lip fibroma through a blue diode laser (λ = 450 nm).


RESULTS
The efficacy of this device, even at very low power (1W, CW), allows us to obtain very high intra and postoperative comfort for the patient, even with just topical anaesthesia and without needing suture. The healing process was completed in one week and, during the follow-up, the patient did not report any problems, pain or discomfort even without the consumption of any kind of drugs, such as painkillers and antibiotics. The histological examination performed by the pathologist showed a large area of fibrous connective tissue with some portions of epithelium-connective detachments and a regular incision with very scanty areas of carbonization.


CONCLUSIONS
The 450 nm diode laser proved of being very efficient in the oral soft tissue surgical procedures, with no side effects for the patients.
