ABSTRACT

Hyperplasia in the mouth is in different shapes and sizes and they appear as a result of fibrotic process. Most common agents are bad prosthetic constructions. Heavy hyperplasia can get to disturbance of the masticator function.
This study was made to evaluate the benefit of using Er: YAG laser for removing the hyperplastic tissue in the mouth cavity.
We present more than 25 cases of hyperplasia caused by long term wearing of mobile prosthetic constructions. Pre prosthetic oral surgical interventions of removing the hyperplasia had to be done, to make new prosthetic constructions.
The therapy plan is radical removing of the hyperplasia without suture of the wound and providing good conditions for new construction. For this procedure we used Er:YAG laser .
