Introduction Mucus extravasation cyst or mucocele is commonly occurring lesion in oral mucosa containing mucin that may result from trauma to minor salivary glands. It is a well‑defined tissue swelling composed of pooled mucus that escaped into the connective tissue from a severed excretory duct. The incidence rate is high and it is the second most commonly occurring lesion after irritational fibroma in the oral cavity, prevalent in second decade of life with no sex predilection. Commonly involving lower lip, followed by tongue, buccal mucosa, palate, and retromolar area. Clinically mucocele is few millimeters to centimeters in diameter, painless, fluctuant, and imparts transparent to bluish hue. Etiology for mucocele was well‑described by Yamasoba et al., in 1990 which includes trauma and obstruction of salivary duct in minor salivary glands. Since mucocele has high recurrence rate, various treatment approaches have been tried like surgical, cryosurgical, intralesional corticosteroids, marsupialization, micromarsupialization, and lasers. Different kinds of lasers are available with varying wavelength and absorption coefficient. Lasers causes less trauma, improved healing, and faster recovery time when compared with conventional methods. Diode lasers especially that of wavelength 810 nm have high affinity for melanin and haemoglobin. This property enables it to precisely cut, coagulate, ablate, or vaporize the target soft tissue. Diode lasers are easy to move and handle since they do not have water or airlines.

CO2 laser often results in scarring of the operated site. A diode laser was used in these cases as it offers the advantage of providing bloodless field, rapid healing and being easy to operate. Light of wavelength of 810 nm is intensely absorbed by oxygenated haemoglobin, resulting in elevation of temperature at operative site, promoting coagulation and carbonization of soft tissues, with minimum discomfort and scarring. Another important advantage is that it causes no alteration in microanatomy of biopsy specimen. Excessive heat may be prevented by intermittent irrigation with normal saline. No sutures or surgical pack is required. As seen in our cases, usually no scar formation occurs at the operated site.

At the moment, the main objective for scientists and engineers is to develop surgery into a minimal invasive method and nanote...
Hoover's right medial thigh to proximal groin. Her oxygen saturation was 97% with an oxygen support of 2 liters per minute. Multiple ecchymoses were noted around the hematoma, near Lovenox injection sites, on the right forearm, and on the surgical site of her right eyelid. She had a positive fluid balance of 485 during the first hospital day. A hemoglobin and hematocrit was ordered then and one hour after the fourth transfusion was ordered.

People with cancer, cardio- vascular diseases, neuralgia and acute skin diseases, such as dermatitis are all prohibited from this treatment. People who have also undergone recent surgery cannot have ultrasonic peeling on the area, including Botox and dermal fillers.
Laser therapy has been accepted widely by the general public and the medical professionals for its extensive benefits. This therapy precisely targets the affected area, minimizes the use of general anesthesia, encourages shorter hospital stay and improves the patient outcomes. These benefits have lead to its increased use and importance worldwide.

...g gentle pressure. Finally the procedure was documented and the site was assessed for any abnormal reactions to the injection.
The natural methods are less likely to cause a scar. But laser treatments have many side effects depending on a number of factors. First and foremost are you prone to keloid scars? Also if a laser is too powered, it causes skin damage. It also depends on how treatments one will undergo. Avoiding scars is usually expensive because you have to for an expert with a good reputation. To remove scars you may have to consult a scar removal specialist and this comes at a cost and it’s time consuming.
The time required for recovery and recuperation in laser treatment is less than that required for surgery.
Erbium or YAG laser which is of precise wave length penetrates into the skin. As the scattering of the YAG lasers are less, the normal skin is left unaffected.
-Cyst that arises from epithelium entrapped within lymphoid tissue. It presents as a superficial submucosal mass that is yellow or whitish in coloration. The most frequent location is in the floor of the mouth followed by the posterior lateral border of the tongue, soft palate, tonsillar pillars, orophorynx, and the ventral tongue. The entrapped epithelium may have originated from salivary gland ducts or from the lining epithelium of surface invaginations plugged with desquamative keratin. Surgical excision can be performed; however, it is not necessary.
Results: Preoperatively, patients’ levels of pains were at an average of 8.6 out of 10. After leeching procedures, pains were significantly reduced to an average of 3.5 out of 10. Not only did the pain dramatically decrease, but there were dermatological signs of improvement.
On his initial examination dated 23/06/13 the patient was seen for a routine full mouth scale and polish with reinforced oral hygiene instruction including flossing technique. He presented with excellent oral hygiene at this appointment which was a reflection of his commitment to good oral hygiene; tooth-brushing twice daily and dental flossing once daily. This was further supported by the patients plaque scores at 5% and bleeding scores at 4% with only minimal supra gingival calculus on lower anterior teeth. There was no erythema or oedema present on the gingival tissues.
As you can see lasers are a very useful and important tool which is why I have
Cutting: A laser is also great for cutting objects. It can get to those hard to reach places by the use of mirrors to bend the beam of light. It also is strong enough to cut through solid steel. A laser never damages the surface of the object because it never touches it. Lasers have been
