Evaluation of Different Laser-Supported Surgical Protocols for the Treatment of Oral Leukoplakia: A Long-Term Follow-Up

Abstract

The results of this long-term follow-up of treated patients with oral homogeneous leukoplakias pointed out that the surgical laser protocol respecting the complete excision of leukoplakias, in one session, by the removal of a minimum of 1 mm in lesion depth and 3 mm of surrounding healthy-like tissues (CR 1 × 3) offers significantly the highest success rate.
